What is Geothermal Energy?

Geothermal energy is simply energy derived from heat in the interior of the earth. Just a few feet underground, the temperature stays around 50° to 70° degrees all year-round. During the winter, a geothermal energy system absorbs this extra heat from the earth and transfers it into your home or office. During the summer, the system takes heat from the indoors and moves it back underground.
