How Does a Geothermal Heat Pump Work?

A geothermal HVAC system utilizes a heat pump to keep your home comfortable. Like other heat pumps, a geothermal heat pump does not consume fuel in order to do so. Rather, geothermal heat and AC systems utilize renewable energy in the ground or water on your property.

Using just a small amount of energy, a geothermal system is able to transfer this endless supply of clean heat into your home in order to keep it warm. During the cooling season the process can be reversed, removing excess heat from your home to keep it cool.

Benefits of Geothermal Heating & Cooling

Geothermal heat pump systems are actually more dependable and consistent than other heat pump options. This is due to the way in which they gather the heat used to keep your home comfortable. While other heat pumps may absorb heat from the air, the temperature beneath the ground or underwater where geothermal systems draw heat from is more constant. This means that the energy source needed is not susceptible to temperature changes the way that air is.

Geothermal Installation Services in Asheville, NC by Comfort Central

The installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system must be handled by a qualified professional. Trenches must be dug, or holes drilled, in which a geothermal loop system can be buried. This loop system allows for the absorption of ambient heat from the ground. A number of factors affect the installation of the loop system, including geological considerations and local codes and regulations. Only a professional can ensure that all criteria are met.

Scheduling Geothermal System Maintenance & Repairs

Thanks to the fact that geothermal heating and cooling systems have few moving parts, their maintenance and service needs are minimal. Routine maintenance service is still necessary as a preventive measure, however. Maintenance is the best way to ensure that your geothermal heating and cooling system is operating at maximum efficiency and performance levels. It also greatly reduces the risk of damage to your system.

When you do need to schedule a geothermal system repair, you must do so immediately. Putting repair service off increases the risk of serious damage to your heating and cooling system. Contact Comfort Central if you have any concerns over the operation or overall condition of your geothermal heat pump.
