A geothermal system uses the stable temperatures underground to heat and cool your home. Instead of creating hot or cold air from scratch, it moves heat between your home and the earth using a series of buried pipes called a ground loop. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home and transfers it underground; in the winter, it draws heat from the earth back into your home. The result? Lower energy bills, less wear and tear, and year-round comfort all while using an eco-friendly, renewable energy source. Powell’s can help you design and install a geothermal system that fits your home perfectly.
Standard AC systems use electricity to run compressors and fans that move heat out of your home and release it into the outdoor air. They’re effective but rely on higher energy use, especially during peak summer heat.
Geothermal systems, on the other hand, use the earth’s constant underground temperature to transfer heat. This makes them far more energy efficient, often reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 50%. Geothermal units also tend to last longer than traditional AC units, and because the outdoor components are minimal, there’s less risk of weather damage.
In short:
If you’re ready to explore whether geothermal is right for your home, Powell’s has the expertise to walk you through every step—from design to installation to maintenance.
