We also specialize in another kind of home comfort system, geothermal cooling and heating systems. The key to your home cooling comfort may be right under your lawn. Stable Temperatures Underground If you have ever been to a cave, you already know how geothermal systems work. Even in the hottest part of the year, the cave system will maintain a constant, cool temperature. Once you get about 6 feet under your lawn, you will also find a fairly constant temperature regardless of how hot or cold it is above ground. A geothermal system involves installing a loop of plastic tubes under your lawn. These tubes are attached to a heat pump unit in your home. They circulate a water-based solution that will transfer warmth from the earth in the heating season and transfer heat from your home during the cooling season. Geothermal Advantages The initial investment in geothermal heating can be high as there will be excavation and construction costs. However, once the...
