How Geothermal Systems Operate

If you’re unfamiliar with them, geothermal HVAC systems combine a heat pump with a buried underground coolant loop. That enables them to use the ground as a heat sink in cooling mode and a heat reservoir in heating mode. In so doing, geothermal systems eliminate a key obstacle to HVAC efficiency: outside temperatures.

Geothermal cooling and heating systems take advantage of the stable temperatures found just below ground. At depths of six feet or more, the temperature holds at approximately 55°F year-round. That happens to be the perfect temperature for maximizing heat pump efficiency.

A geothermal heating and cooling system includes the following components.

Buried ground loop
Heat pump
Air handler
Circulation pump

Key Advantages of Geothermal Technology

Geothermal HVAC systems offer several advantages over conventional heating and cooling systems. The most significant advantage is energy efficiency. By using geothermal energy to maximum effect, a geothermal system can operate at efficiencies approaching 600%! For comparison, the best gas furnace you can buy can only reach 98.5% efficiency.

Geothermal cooling and heating systems also provide the following advantages.

Environmentally friendly
Excellent longevity
Low maintenance
Low-cost operation

What Homes Benefit Most From Geothermal

Unfortunately, a geothermal HVAC system isn’t an excellent fit for every home. The primary reason is that it requires significant space on your property. The least expensive type of geothermal ground loop installs horizontally. Unfortunately, those loops require about 600 feet of space per ton of HVAC capacity. So, if your home needed a 3-ton HVAC system, its horizontal ground loop would take up 1,800 feet on your property. The good news is that you can get around that space requirement by installing a vertical loop instead. Installing one is similar to installing a well, so it won’t take up much room. It will, however, dramatically increase your installation costs due to the drilling expenses.

The following types of homes benefit most from geothermal HVAC systems.

Well insulated homes
Large homes
Homes with no natural gas connections
Multifamily homes

Frequently Asked Questions

As a local geothermal energy leader, we know more about their technology than the average competitor. Here are some frequently asked questions on the topic and their answers.

How does a geothermal system reduce energy usage?

Geothermal systems extract heat from underground to provide indoor heating. In cooling mode, they use the ground to sequester the heat inside your home efficiently. Doing so means geothermal systems don’t need to fight changing outdoor temperatures while operating.

Can geothermal work with existing ductwork?

Typically, a geothermal system will work with your home’s existing ductwork. The only exceptions are if your ductwork won’t carry sufficient airflow or needs extensive repair. Your system’s energy efficiency will depend on the quality of your home’s ductwork.
