An Overview

Geothermal heating and cooling is an exchange of heat with the earth. The actual soil under the typical residential home site has a tremendous ability to store and release heat. A geothermal heating and cooling system is a machine designed to use this ability to the advantage of the homeowner whose home or buildings rest on the earth's surface. There is a basic law of physics that states it is more efficient to move heat that already exists than to make new heat from another form of energy. Geothermal heating and cooling is a concept that puts this basic law to work for the advantage of homeowners everywhere.
