If you happen to be a homeowner who might be interested in saving money and using energy more smartly in your residence, consider geothermal. You could be thinking what geothermal is and how do geothermal heat pumps work? We have got you covered. Soil continues to be at a very constant temperature of around 10°C just under the frost line. Residence geothermal systems use this regular ground temperature to more correctly heat and cool homes. Household geothermal systems are made by two standard parts: A geothermal heat pump that sits inside the home  Underground pipes called “ground loops”  To transfer heat from one place to another it needs a heat pump that uses a little amount of electricity. This functions like a freezer heat pump in action. Freezers pump warm air out with a closed loop of freezing cold coils and returns as refrigerated air. Geothermal heat pumps operate in a similar manner. A non-toxic antifreeze solution is pumped through a closed set of pipes unde...
