Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial HVAC

How does geothermal heating and cooling work?

Geothermal HVAC systems use the stable ground temperature as a heat exchange medium. A network of pipes (a ground loop) circulates fluid underground, absorbing heat from the earth in winter and transferring it into the building. In the summer, the process reverses, A heat pump extracts heat from the home and transfers it to the cooler fluid, which is then dissipated into the ground. Geothermal HVAC is highly energy-efficient, although installation costs can be higher due to the ground loop installation. It's an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home or business.
