What Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?
Geothermal systems use the earth’s naturally stable underground temperature to heat and cool your home. Just a few feet below the surface, ground temperatures remain relatively constant year-round, making them an ideal energy source.
A geothermal system transfers heat rather than creating it:
- In winter, heat is drawn from the ground and delivered into your home.
- In summer, unwanted heat is removed from your home and transferred back into the earth.
- Year-round, the system provides reliable comfort while using significantly less energy than conventional HVAC systems.
Benefits of Geothermal Systems
Lower Energy Costs
Many homeowners see substantial utility savings compared to traditional gas, propane, or electric systems.
Year-Round Comfort
One system provides both heating and cooling, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures through Wisconsin’s seasonal extremes.
Environmentally Friendly
By transferring heat instead of burning fossil fuels, geothermal produces no on-site greenhouse gas emissions.
Long-Term Reliability
The underground loop lasts for decades, and indoor components are protected from harsh outdoor conditions.
Minimal Maintenance
Upkeep is typically limited to filter changes and periodic system inspections.
Does Geothermal Provide Both Heating and Cooling?
Yes. A geothermal heat pump is an all-in-one comfort solution. With a simple thermostat adjustment, the system switches between:
- Heating your home during cold weather
- Cooling your home during warmer months
- Maintaining consistent indoor comfort throughout the year
New Construction and Retrofit Installation
Geothermal systems can be installed in:
New Homes
Incorporating geothermal during construction allows the system to be designed specifically for your home’s layout and energy needs.
Many geothermal systems can also assist with domestic hot water production through an optional desuperheater, helping improve overall energy efficiency.
Existing Homes
Many homeowners successfully replace traditional furnaces and air conditioners with geothermal systems. Existing ductwork can often be utilized with minor modifications if necessary.
Our team will evaluate your home and determine the best installation approach for your property.
Geothermal Loop Options
The underground loop is what allows a geothermal system to exchange heat with the earth. Several loop configurations are available depending on your property size, soil conditions, and available water sources. Our geothermal specialists will help determine which configuration is best suited for your home and property.
Horizontal loops are installed in trenches several feet below ground level and are commonly used where adequate yard space is available.
When property space is limited, vertical loops can be installed in deep boreholes. These systems require minimal surface area and are ideal for smaller lots.
Properties with an appropriately sized pond may qualify for a pond loop installation, offering another efficient geothermal option.
Open-loop systems use groundwater from a well as the heat source. Water quality, well capacity, and local regulations must be evaluated before installation.
