How Geothermal Systems Work
A geothermal system consists of a loop (earth loop), which is a system of polyethylene pipes buried in the ground. It also uses an indoor air handling unit. Geothermal systems use energy from the earth to heat and cool your home. It is able to use the earth as its temperature source because underground temperatures remain more constant throughout the year than atmospheric temperatures. The system either carriers heat to your home or removes it via the earth loop. Electricity is needed to operate the fan, pump, and compressor.
