Geothermal heating and cooling use the earth’s stable underground temperature to exchange energy with a heat pump. A closed-loop system of buried pipes circulates fluid to absorb or release heat, depending on the season. The heat pump concentrates that energy to provide warm air, cool air, or hot water—all without combustion or outdoor equipment. It’s a reliable, renewable solution that reduces both energy bills and emissions.
Geothermal heat pumps provide consistent comfort, lower utility bills, and require minimal maintenance. They operate quietly, have no outdoor equipment to service, and typically last much longer than conventional HVAC systems. By using the ground’s constant temperature, they reduce emissions and eliminate reliance on fossil fuels, making them one of the cleanest and most efficient heating and cooling options available.
Yes, retrofitting an existing home for geothermal is possible. The process involves installing a ground loop on the property and integrating the heat pump with your home’s existing distribution system—whether ducted or radiant. We assess your site, calculate your heating and cooling needs, and design a system that fits your space, usage, and goals. A properly designed retrofit often results in lower energy bills, more even temperatures, and a quieter, more comfortable home.
Geothermal systems take advantage of the ground’s stable temperature. The earth stays around 50–55°F year-round. A geothermal heat pump extracts that thermal energy and compresses it to deliver warm air or hot water. When paired with a properly designed ground loop, this process provides reliable heating—even in the coldest weather.
The depth required for drilling depends on your building’s heating and cooling load, ground conditions, and available space. Most vertical bores range from 150 to 400 feet deep per ton of system capacity. We’re equipped to go deeper if needed. Every project is based on site-specific calculations—not guesses—to ensure the system performs as designed.
