Fluid within the ground loop absorbs heat from the surrounding earth.This fluid is pumped through the ground loop up to the heat pump, which is housed inside the home.The heat pump’s heat exchanger uses the energy to warm the air that passes through the unit.
How does geothermal heating work?
A furnace burns fuel to create heat, whereas a geothermal heat pump exchanges heat between the ground or water source and the air to heat the home. … The fluid within the ground loop absorbs the heat from the Earth, then cycles it to the heat pump where its heat exchanger transfers the heat from the fluid to the air.
How does geothermal work in the winter?
In contrast to an air source heat pump, a geothermal heat pump harvests heat from the ground, which maintains a steady temperature below the frost line year round. This means that as the outdoor air temperature drops, your geothermal heat pump maintains its efficiency and continues harvesting heat as it normally would.
