What is the Geothermal System?

A geothermal HVAC system involves an extremely energy-efficient type of heat pump (also known as a ground-source heat pump) that generates heat using solar energy stored in the ground. This system has  the edge over more conventional heating and cooling methods because it:

• Uses little to no electricity to operate, which reduces your carbon footprint and costs

• Requires fewer maintenance visits and repairs than other methods

• Uses a heating process that’s easily reversible into a cooling process, cutting down on your required HVAC equipment

• Has a lifespan of up to 25 to 50 years, depending on the type of pump, how often it’s used, and the surrounding underground infrastructure

• May make South Carolina residents eligible for tax breaks and incentives

How Does Geothermal Heating & Cooling Work?

A geothermal cooling and heating system transfers the ambient, existing heat stored in the earth to heat your home. In other words, during geothermal system installation, the contractors dig strategically placed trenches across your property. They’ll then install pipes below where the ground typically freezes. The liquid traveling through this pipe system absorbs the natural heat stored in the earth.

This liquid is then sent back through the geothermal system’s heat pump mechanism, where it’s transferred inside your home, making it warm and comfortable. In reverse, the same process is completed to cool your home in the summer.
