Types of Geothermal Systems

Geothermal technology harnesses the ground’s consistent temperature.
Heat pumps can be installed in a variety of configurations, depending on your particular needs and the site conditions of your property.


A Closed Loop System is for you if:
• There is no readily available water source
• How it works – circulates a water and antifreeze solution through a closed loop of pipe

A Vertical Loop is for you if:
• Space is limited


A Pond Loop is for you if:

• The body of water has sufficient depth
• The pond is close to the house


A Horizontal or Slinky Loop is for you if:
• Land area is sufficient – about 1/4 to 3/4 acres is usually enough for the average sized home


An Open Loop System is for you if:
• You have a readily available source of ground water such as a lake or well
• The water source has adequate capacity to support the system
• How it works – open pipes draw water in and discharge it, exchanging heat
