It is a heating and cooling system that uses the grounds natural temperature of approximately 50 degrees to either cool or heat a home through a series of pipes that run through the ground. You will also need a pump, a compressor and a distribution fan to move the coolant and water through the loops of pipe to maintain a comfortable temperature in the structure .The system is powered by an electrically-powered water source heat pump that converts the Natural Resources of the earth into an efficient heating and cooling system for your home. They are safe, earth friendly economical and efficient heating and cooling systems.

To install a geothermal system, you would need to first assess the feasibility of the system for your property, determine the type of geothermal system suitable for your needs (vertical or horizontal loop), and consult with a professional geothermal contractor to design and install the system. The installation process involves digging trenches or drilling wells for the loops, connecting the loops to the heat pump system, and completing the installation of the heat pump unit.
The wattage output of a geothermal system varies depending on the size and capacity of the system. On average, a residential geothermal system typically produces between 3,000 to 5,000 watts of heating or cooling power. Commercial geothermal systems can range from 10,000 watts to several hundred thousand watts.

The cost of a geothermal system can vary depending on factors such as system size, location, installation method, and additional components. On average, installation costs can range from $10,000 to $30,000 for residential systems, while larger commercial systems can cost significantly more. It's best to consult with a geothermal contractor for a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
