What Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?

When it comes to heating and cooling your home, there’s a cleaner, more efficient solution beneath your feet—literally. At Eastern Environmental, we’ve spent over 20 years helping Long Island homeowners tap into the power of geothermal energy. But what exactly is geothermal heating and cooling, and why is it such a game-changer?

Geothermal 101: How It Works

Geothermal heating and cooling systems use the consistent temperature of the earth below the frost line—usually around 50–60°F year-round—to regulate your home’s indoor climate. Instead of burning fuel or relying on noisy, energy-hungry systems, geothermal systems use an underground loop system and a heat pump to transfer heat to or from your home.

• In the winter: The system pulls warmth from the ground and transfers it inside.

• In the summer: It does the reverse, removing heat from your home and sending it back into the earth.

It’s natural, renewable, and incredibly efficient.
