What is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?
HVAC Water Furnace and Heat Pump Installation PA
| |
The marvelous technology of geothermal energy relies primarily on the Earth's natural thermal energy
to heat and cool a house or multi-family dwelling. The only additional energy required
is a small amount of electricity to concentrate what Mother Nature provides and
circulate high-quality heating and cooling throughout the home.
Geothermal heating and cooling is very cost effective because it uses energy so efficiently.
This makes it very environmentally friendly, too – and that's why it's endorsed by federal
agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.
