Why Choose Geothermal Cooling?

Geothermal cooling offers a smarter, more sustainable alternative to traditional air conditioning by harnessing renewable energy from beneath the earth’s surface.

Key Benefits of Geothermal Cooling:

  • Energy Savings – Uses up to 50% less energy than traditional cooling systems, reducing your monthly utility bills.
  • Eco-Friendly Operation – Reduces carbon emissions by using natural underground temperatures instead of fossil fuels.
  • Consistent Cooling – Provides steady, even cooling without temperature fluctuations, regardless of outdoor conditions.
  • Low Maintenance – Requires minimal upkeep compared to conventional AC systems.
  • Long-Term Savings – Though the initial investment is higher, geothermal systems offer lower operating costs over time.
  • Quiet Performance – No loud compressors or outdoor fan noise, making it one of the quietest cooling options available.

Investing in geothermal cooling means lower energy bills, less maintenance, and eco-friendly comfort for decades to come.

How Does Geothermal Cooling Work?

Geothermal cooling systems take advantage of the stable underground temperature to naturally cool your home or business. Unlike traditional air conditioning, which relies on energy-intensive compressors, geothermal systems transfer heat between your building and the ground for efficient cooling.

The Geothermal Cooling Process:

  1. Ground Loop System – Pipes are installed underground or in a nearby water source, where temperatures remain stable year-round.
  2. Heat Exchange – A geothermal heat pump extracts heat from your indoor air and transfers it into the ground.
  3. Air Distribution – The cooled air is circulated through your existing ductwork or a ductless system for even temperature control.

Because geothermal systems don’t rely on outside air, they provide higher efficiency and greater reliability, even in extreme weather conditions.

Best Applications for Geothermal Cooling:

  • Commercial Buildings & Offices – Reduce overhead costs and provide consistent comfort for employees and customers.
  • Schools & Universities – Improve air quality and temperature control while reducing long-term energy expenses.
  • Apartments & Multi-Family Units – Offer tenants eco-friendly cooling with lower energy bills.
  • Industrial Facilities & Warehouses – Maintain temperature stability in large spaces more efficiently.

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you.

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida
