In most cases the answer to this question is yes, but understanding the basics of Geothermal heating will help you to understand whether you can put in a system where you live and whether it will save you money. Geothermal heat in CT is really a very simple concept, the temperature below the frost line, which in Connecticut is below about 15 feet down, is a constant 53 degrees and this is essentially heat energy that can be used to warm or cool your home to any temperature you wish.

Based on thermodynamics the law is very simple heat flows to cold and converting that heat into heating and cooling for your home. First used in cold regions of the world such Iceland as a way to heat without the use of very expensive fossil fuels, geothermal has been used for such applications as heating fish farms for optimal conditions. Geothermal is now growing in popularity in the US as a way to heat everything from homes to large commercial businesses, because you only need a small amount of energy to run the pumps and fans and will never need to use oil, gas or propane again. Geothermal heat in CT is a cost effective way to save on your energy bills and to reduce global warming and the waste of fossil fuels. Geothermal heat in CT can be achieved by a few different methods not all of which are as efficient as the others.

The most common type of geothermal heating is the water based system, these systems are based on either an open loop system or a closed loop system that can require a deep hole drilled such as what you might drill for a well, or a large area of ground excavated in which to put the loops. If you do not have the ground space available this may not be a sound alternative for your home. Total Green Intl has come up with geothermal heat in CT however that is not only less invasive to install, it is safer and far more efficient than the existing water based systems now available. Called the DX system it consists of one geothermal pump and a system of copper tubing filled with an environmentally friendly refrigerant. The copper tubing and refrigerant conduct heat better than existing systems allowing for more heat for the energy cost. You will need a place in your yard to install the system of course but this system takes up less room than traditional water based systems and requires less excavation. The entrance into your home is very small and only one geothermal pump is installed, rather than the two or more in water based systems.
