What is Geothermal Energy?

Geothermal energy, a sustainable and eco-friendly solution, taps into the Earth's consistent underground temperatures to provide heating for buildings and residences. Beneath our feet, the Earth retains a steady warmth, relatively unaffected by the seasonal temperature fluctuations on the surface. By leveraging this heat reservoir, geothermal systems utilize a series of underground pipes, often called ground source heat pumps, to transfer this stable warmth to buildings during colder months.

​

The process is impressively efficient: for every unit of electricity used to power the system, a geothermal heat pump can provide up to five units of heating energy. This not only results in reduced heating costs but also decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

​

Moreover, since the system can reverse during warmer months, it offers cooling solutions as well. As concerns about the environment and energy consumption grow, geothermal energy stands out as a premier choice for sustainable and efficient heating.
