Schedule OnlineWhat Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?
A geothermal system uses the steady temperature underground to heat and cool your home. Instead of creating heat like a furnace, it transfers heat between your home and the ground through a buried loop system. In winter, it draws warmth from the earth into your home. In summer, it removes heat from inside and moves it back into the ground.
Because the temperature underground stays stable all year, geothermal systems operate with exceptional efficiency. They can reach up to 400 percent efficiency, meaning they deliver four units of energy for every one unit of electricity used. One system provides both heating and cooling, making it a perfect fit for Iowa’s hot summers and cold winters.
The consistent ground temperature in Des Moines gives geothermal systems a natural advantage. It allows them to work efficiently through wide seasonal temperature swings while keeping your indoor comfort steady.
