Indoor Comfort, Down to Earth Savings with Lancaster Geothermal Heating Homeowners across Lancaster, PA, have discovered the benefits of using the energy source in their own backyards to provide heating, cooling and hot water. Lancaster geothermal heating and cooling systems tap into the constant temperature found a few feet below the surface of the earth, to deliver a consistent, even flow of conditioned air throughout the home, eliminating hot and cold spots. One benefit, according to studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of geothermal heating and cooling is that it's the most energy-efficient option available. The experts at Gochnauer at Home add that a Lancaster geothermal system depends on the most plentiful source of renewable energy and a source that is available virtually anywhere in the Lancaster, PA, area.

Additionally, the system removes noise pollution, with a sound level resembling a refrigerator. A Lancaster geothermal system captures the free energy from the earth by using a series of pipes, called an earth loop, buried in the ground. During the heating mode, a special fluid flows through the pipe where heat energy is transferred from the ground (the heat source) to the fluid and then to the geothermal unit located in your home, supplying warm comfort. Inside the home, the heat is distributed through either a conventional duct system or a hydronic radiant heat system. A Lancaster geothermal system also addresses pollutants in the air. According to EPA tests, levels of pollutants are two to five times higher indoors than outside.
