GEOEXCHANGE: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT’S NOT
Geoexchange is a tried and true, proven technology which is so widely misunderstood, that it is usually referred to as “Geothermal Energy”… but that is a misnomer.

GEOTHERMAL VS. GEOEXCHANGE
Geothermal energy is the kind of energy found in the hot springs in Iceland, for example, where hot water from naturally occuring can be run through pipes in the floor for heating, for example.

A geoexchange system employs a heat pump to use the Earth’s heat (or to “dump” heat if the geoexchange system is being used for cooling).
