The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographic location.
Working with an underground loop system, a ClimateMaster geothermal unit utilizes this constant temperature to exchange energy between
your home and the earth as needed for heating and cooling.  In winter, water circulating inside a sealed loop absorbs heat from the earth
and carries it to the unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm air to your indoor system for distribution throughout
your home.  In the summer, the system reverses and expels heat from your home to the cooler earth via the loop system. This heat exchange
process is not only natural, but is a truly ingenious and highly efficient way to create a comfortable climate in your home.

 

What is a Geothermal Heat Pump, and

How Does it Work?

Q: What is a geothermal heat pump?

A: A geothermal or “ground-source” heat pump is an

electrically-powered device that uses the natural

heat storage ability of the earth and/or the

earth’s groundwater to heat and cool your home

or business.

Q: How does it work?

A: Like any type of heat pump, it simply moves

heat energy form one place to another. Your

refrigerator works using the same scientifi c

principle. (See “How is a geothermal heat pump

like a refrigerator?” on the next page.) By using

refrigeration, the geothermal heat pump removes

heat energy stored in the earth and/or the earth’s

groundwater and transfers it to the home.

Q: How is heat transferred between the earth and

the home?

A: The earth has the ability to absorb and store heat

energy. To use that stored energy, heat is extracted

from the earth through a liquid medium (water or

an anti-freeze solution) and is pumped to the heat

pump heat exchanger. There, the heat is used to

heat your home. In summer the process is reversed

and indoor heat is extracted from your home and

transferred to the earth through the liquid.

Q: You mentioned heating and cooling. Does it do both?

A: One of the things that makes a heat pump so

versatile is its ability to be a heating and cooling

system in one. You can change from one mode

to another with a simple flick of a switch on your

indoor thermostat. Plus, a geothermal heat pump

can assist in heating hot water year-round.
