How Geothermal Works We all know that Fort Wayne homes are acceptable to varying temperatures throughout the year. Some climates can see the extremes that summer and winter throw at us. There is a consistent source of temperature that you can utilize; just a few feet underneath the earth's surface. How is that possible? The sun instills the Earth's crust with its heat energy. Forty-seven percent of that energy is cumulated in the ground as heat. Our geothermal systems extract this heating potential using an earth loop system; gathering this free heat for your home. This state-of-the-art technology uses the sun's heat that the earth has readily stored to condition your home or office. Geothermal Heating Using the earth loop, a geothermal heat pump pulls the heat from the ground in the heating cycle. The geothermal system sucks the heat from the loops and passes this warmed air through a standard duct system. Additional choices include using that same heat to provide hot water and radiant floor heating are available. Geothermal Cooling Conditioning air is just the reverse process used in the heating cycle. Warm air is driven by the geothermal heat pump into the ground. By getting rid of the warm air, all that is left is cool air circulating throughout your home. Heating your water during this process is "free".
