How Geothermal Energy Works.
Geothermal energy uses a heat pump that moves the water through the coils. The ground keeps the water cool in the summer and the water is pumped into the house to cool it down. In the winter the same thing happens but the water is at a warmer temperature and the house is warmed up.
