Geothermy

Geothermal Systems: The ground is already at the right temperature!

Less known among the general public compared to other energies, geothermal systems are a fantastic way to maintain a perfect temperature in your home.

This form of energy is based on the principle of recovering calories that are abundant in the ground in order to heat or cool your home. Sensors are placed on either a horizontal surface, buried 60 to 100 cm underground, for example, or vertically in boreholes measuring 50 to 100 cm deep.

The energy is transmitted to a heat pump, which uses a thermodynamic device to transfer heat from where it is the coldest to where it is the warmest. Equipped with a reversible system, it can run in reverse, similar to a refrigerator. This form of energy cannot be exhausted, amounting to considerable savings on heating bills.

Benefits of Geothermal Systems

• Natural, non-polluting, and inexhaustible energy
• Highly efficient (savings of up to 75% on your bill)
• Particularly well-suited for areas with harsh climates
• Tax benefits
• Technology used for central heating, cooling, and hot water production

Other factors to consider:

• Suitable land and professional installation
• Requires a backup system to compensate for temperature variations
