Geothermal Home Heating & Cooling Explained
Written by Maitz Home ServicesMaitz Home Services President Dave DeWalt explains how geothermal systems operate and how they can reduce your energy cost for home heating, cooling and hot water.
Geothermal Systems Geothermal systems work by exchanging the earth's temperature, which is constant, with the warmer or cooler temperature inside your home. The temperature difference between the earth's temperature and the temperature inside your home is controlled by a geothermal heat pump.
In the winter, the geothermal system takes the earth's warmer temperature of 50-55 degrees and pumps a liquid solution through a heat exchanger
where it is compressed with and then blown as warmer air throughout the home. In the summer, the process is reveresed. The heat pump takes the warmer air in the home and exchanges it with the cooler temeratures in the earth.
Energy Savings From Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a measurement of energy efficiency. It equates to the number of kilowatts you use to the number of kilowatts you extract. With a geothermal heat pump a typical COP is 3-4. A COP of three means it it 3 times more efficient than the amount of energy input. In the warmer months this can mean a geothermal system is actually providing hot water with no additional energy requirement.
Geothermal Incentives
The U.S. Department of Energy provides incentives for homeowners to install geothermal systems. For more information visit www.ere.energy.gov
