What Is A Geothermal Heat Pump System?
Geothermal heat pumps use the natural properties of the earth to provide heating and cooling to a building. Heat addition and rejection take place below the ground (or in a body of water), inside hundreds of feet of high-density polyethylene pipe, known as a loop. Fluid is circulated through the loop and into the geothermal units, each of which serves a specific zone within the building. The units then amplify and direct conditioned air into their zone based on its cooling or heating requirement.
