Using state-of-the-art furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps, Carrier dealers are experts when it comes to customized home comfort systems. But it doesn't end there. Carrier also offers a complete line of exceptional geothermal comfort systems for your home.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, geothermal systems are "the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today." That's because a geothermal system taps into the earth to capture free, renewable energy.
The earth absorbs about 47% of the sun's energy that reaches it, storing that energy in the ground. A geothermal system extracts that free energy for heating during winter. For cooling, the system removes heat from the home and dumps it into the cooler earth. This transfer of heat energy is done through a series of pipes buried in the ground, or sunk in a pond, or by using well water. Because a geothermal system simply moves heat instead of burning a fossil fuel to generate it, it's more energy-efficient.
