How Geothermal Systems Work
Geothermal systems harness the Earth’s constant underground temperature (around 55°F in Iowa) through an earth loop system. Geothermal systems have distinct modes for heating and cooling.
Heating Mode
In heating mode, the system extracts heat from the ground through the earth loop. This heat is concentrated and distributed through your home via conventional ductwork or radiant floor heating. Excess heat can be used for domestic hot water, further increasing efficiency.
Cooling Mode
Your geothermal cool system reverses the heating process, extracting heat from your home. This heat is either returned to the ground or used to preheat your hot water. Cool, dehumidified air is distributed throughout your home. This process ensures efficient operation regardless of outdoor temperatures, perfect for Des Moines’ varied climate.
