The following edit was recommended by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office: At :58, “During the winter, the air is usually cooler than the temperature below ground. The solution circulates in a loop underground and absorbs the Earth’s heat. This heat is brought to the surface and transferred to a heat pump.

An energy-efficient heating and cooling alternative, the geothermal heat pump system moves heat from the ground to a building (or from a building to the ground) through a series of flexible pipe “loops” containing water.

why not build our houses into the ground?
I deeply like this appropriate idea
If every Gov implemented a carbon tax for ppl using non-renewable energy, it'll force everyone to use renewable-energy systems like this. Saves money and good for the environment and good capitalist competition for non-renewable companies.
Great video. Hope OSHA don't see the guys in the trenches with no sloping, shoring, or trench boxes being used….
I think you need to take some time and go to inplix website to learn how to make it.
awsome
Very clear and revealing explanation of the workings of heat pumps.
Поздрави на американските ни колеги от Геосолар В-63 българският производител на качествени термопомпи.Very good clip!!!
Fucking amazing! All new houses should have this.
This is a great video which made everything a LOT easier!
$1 billion invested in 15 years assures ongoing free geothermal energy of 100 Gigawatts!

Would have been nice had the DOE ref'd the church specifics (and got the facts right). It is the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO. The narrator also screwed up on the ground loop, it is not a horizontal loop but is vertical (drilled); consists of 28 boreholes that are 400' deep under the parking lot. We did not have enough space for a horizontal or pit loop. System has been up and running since 2009 with very low utility bills. Major Geothermal designed it, Major Heating installed the mechanical system and designed the controls, and Major Geothermal did the functional testing.
To be particular about it: Yes, it is formally called geothermal energy. But no, it's not really geothermal, but solar energy you use. With the ground as a heat storage. If the system would depend on the heat-replenishment from the interior of the earth, it would not work, because it's too less heat flow.
You are wrong my friend ; )
This is called low enthalpy geothermal energy, Máx temperatures are 30ºC
Wow… these are great!
This is a ground source heat pump not a 'geothermal heat pump'. Geothermal energy is from the earths core- i.e. volcanoes etc. Iceland uses lots of geothermal energy- because it can!
why is there still an energy crisis ? because ppl are to stupid to make one of these for every home
In what city do you live, so we know what climate you are in? And what style of system do you have–horizontal or vertical and buried at what depths? Thank you for the comment, Mr. Marlow. To anyone who posts later about their results of installing and using a geothermal system, please include the answers to my questions just asked.
Drill deeper, forgo the heat pump and cut the energy required to run it in half.
