Where Does it go?
Installation of underground loops is well-planned. NextEnergy has developed technology and looping designs that maximize system efficiency with minimal on-site trenching. To the right, are the three most common types of loop installations, each routing through a home geothermal unit that replaces the existing furnace.

How it works
Heating
In the winter, a geothermal system extracts this heat from the earth. The process is highly efficient, self-contained and produces no carbon emissions. The system consists of a geothermal unit inside your home (roughly the size of your existing furnace) and a series of pipes buried underground on your property.

Cooling
In the summer the process is reversed - heat is extracted from the house and deposited in the ground, with equal efficiency, using the same equipment.

How you save
Significant monthly returns are realized after 'going geo', particularly for larger homes and homes heated with oil or propane. (Homes heated with natural gas can expect substantial savings over a longer payback period.)
