What is Geothermal Heat?

Geothermal heat pump systems are an environmentally friendly technology used to heat, cool, and provide hot water for buildings of all sizes. They use the ground as either a source of heat or a heat sink, taking advantage of the ground's constant year-round temperature, below the frost line. The How It Works page explains this technology in further detail.

The primary benefit of using a geothermal heat pump system instead of a conventional heating and cooling system is the savings in operational costs. Oil or natural gas bills are completely eliminated because these systems require only a small amount of input electricity.

Furthermore, these systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions because they do not burn any fuel. This technology has several federal and state incentives as a result of its sustainability. Geothermal heat pump systems have fewer moving parts than furnaces or boilers and thus require less maintenance. Operation is quiet and non-disruptive. The Benefits and Savings page elaborates on these built-in perks.

A lot of questions are asked regarding geothermal because it is a non-conventional method of heating and cooling a home. CGH Energy has set up a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to address these questions. If you feel you have a question that has not yet been asked, please email it to us at info@cghenergy.com.
