about geothermal systems

Geothermal systems use a loop of high-density polyethylene water pipe placed underground, where almost 50% of all solar energy is absorbed and a temperature between 50° to 70° is maintained. Water and an anti-freezing agent are circulated through these underground pipes to absorb and expel heat, depending on the season. In winter, the system absorbs heat from the earth and converts it to warm air for heating your home. In summer, the system reverses itself, gathering heat from your home and expelling it into the cooler earth. Typically, a geothermal heating and air conditioning system requires half the natural gas or half the coal for electricity normally used.
