Geothermal Heating
Homeowners and business owners have discovered the benefits of using the free energy in their own backyards to provide heating, cooling and hot water.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems tap into the earth’s temperatures below the frost line. Heat will naturally move from something warm to something cool. A geothermal heat pump provides a means for this natural heat transfer to occur. The earth's heat can then be used to heat or cool the home or building.

Dramatic cost savings are possible with geothermal systems. Heat from the ground is free - and the only electricity needed is for moving that heat between your home or business and the ground. The cost to install and operate a geothermal system can be paid back in as little as two to seven years! Best of all, ground-source heat is a naturally renewable energy source and friendly to the environment.

There are two types of geothermal systems, open loop and closed loop. “Open loop” systems draw water directly from a well and pump it through a heat exchanger after which the water is returned to the source — just as clean as before. Approximately 4 to 8 gallons per minute is required to heat and cool most homes. Open loop systems are particularly well suited for areas like Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts where ground water is abundant and relatively close to the surface.

“Closed loop” systems use the earth as the heat transfer medium, employing a mixture of water and non-toxic antifreeze which is pumped through a continuous loop of sealed polyethylene pipes buried beneath the ground, vertically or horizontally. The mixture never comes in contact with the earth.

Once the earth’s heat is captured by the geothermal heat pump it is transferred to the home or business thru a traditional warm air duct system. In the summer the heat pump operation is automatically
reversed and cool air is distributed
through the duct system.
