What Is Geothermal Heating & Cooling?
Geothermal HVAC systems use relatively stable underground temperatures to heat and cool a home. During colder months, a geothermal heat pump transfers heat from the ground into the home. During warmer months, the process reverses, moving heat from the home back into the ground. Because the system relies on underground temperatures rather than outdoor air alone, geothermal heating and cooling can provide consistent comfort throughout Iowa’s changing seasons.

Geothermal Heat Pump vs. Air-Source Heat Pump
Both geothermal and air-source heat pumps can provide heating and cooling, though they transfer heat from different sources. Air-source systems exchange heat with outdoor air, while geothermal systems exchange heat with the ground. The right choice depends on your property, installation goals, budget and long-term comfort priorities.
