How can geothermal energy be used to HEAT a home? heat from the earth can be captured and pumped into the home to heat it heat from the home can be captured and pumped into the earth

Geothermal energy systems use the Earth’s consistent underground temperature to heat homes. A series of pipes, called ground loops, are buried in the ground, where the temperature remains stable year-round. In winter, liquid in the loops absorbs heat from the earth and carries it into the home, while in summer, the process can be reversed to cool the home by transferring heat back into the ground. Many homeowners enjoy the added benefits of geothermal heating systems, such as lower energy bills and reduced carbon footprints. While the initial installation cost can be steep, the long-term savings and maintenance-free operation tend to make it a cost-effective solution over time. Plus, it provides a renewable energy source right beneath our feet!
