How It Works

How Geothermal HVAC Works

A geothermal system, also known as a ground-source heat pump, transfers heat between your home and the ground. Since soil temperatures stay relatively consistent year-round, this heating and air conditioning method is incredibly efficient.

Unlike conventional furnaces, geothermal systems don’t burn fuel to produce heat. Instead, they move heat using electricity. During winter, fluid circulates through underground pipes and absorbs heat from the earth. The ground-source heat pump then uses that energy to warm your home. In summer, the process reverses. The system removes heat from the indoor air and transfers it underground.

Geothermal Loop Options for Richmond Homes

A geothermal installation in Indiana or Ohio utilizes underground piping called ground loops. Two common configurations are available.

Horizontal Closed-Loop System

Horizontal systems bury piping in trenches dug several feet deep. They require considerable open space, making them suitable for rural properties around Richmond and New Lebanon.

Vertical Closed-Loop System

Vertical systems install pipes deeper underground. They require less surface area, making them an option for smaller properties. The deep drilling required generally increases installation costs, but vertical loops work when horizontal trenches aren’t practical.

Benefits

Benefits of Geothermal in East Central Indiana

Geothermal heating and cooling systems are a great option for handling Indiana’s cold winters and humid summers. The advantages of these systems include:

• Lower energy bills: Energy Star has called geothermal heat pumps among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies available. More efficient heating and cooling means lower monthly utility costs.
• Long equipment life: Indoor units may last 20 years or longer, while underground loops often last 50 years or more. Compare this with conventional HVAC equipment, which generally lasts 10 to 20 years.
• Quiet operation: All equipment is either underground or in a discreet indoor location, eliminating the noisy outdoor condenser.
• Reduced environmental impact: Geothermal uses less energy than traditional systems and doesn’t burn fossil fuels for heating.
