How the System Works
Overview
Equipment
Overview
In the winter, the heat from the ground is pulled to the ground loop, which is filled with refrigerant. The heated refrigerant is then returned to the home through a ground loop. The inside compressor unit then takes the heat from the refrigerant and moves the warm air through your system. This process is reversed during the summer to remove heat from your home.
The Loop
Equipment
Overview
A ground loop is drilled between 70 to 100 feet into the ground using a small drilling rig The footprint is a three-foot diameter hole at the surface and a trench that leads to the home. The loop is filled with environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant

The compressor is an integral part of the system. It is the component that pumps the refrigerant through the earth loops and throughout the home’s indoor heat exchanger.
Modulating the amount of refrigerant in circulation to assure optimum efficiency at all times.
