How does geothermal energy get from the source to your house?

Naturally, heat inside Earth’s core moves outward and toward the surface. Power generation plants use geothermal heat to create electricity. Geothermal heat pumps (sometimes called GHPs) are placed a few feet underground.  These GHPs use a fluid that runs through the pipes. This fluid absorbs heat from the ground. The Earth’s heat is transferred into a circulating fluid and then transferred again into the home. Standard ductwork is used to fill the home with heat.
