Geothermal systems are efficient, eco-friendly solutions ideal for saving on your utility bills. Depending on where you live, a geothermal heat pump can supplement your traditional HVAC system, delivering quiet and sustainable comfort all year-round. Trust the Experts for geothermal heating and cooling installation as well as maintenance. We can make you feel right at home with this alternative HVAC technology.
Geothermal HVAC systems are advanced, but their installation process is straightforward. Here鈥檚 what you can expect during geothermal installation:
The introductory step will be meeting with a geothermal HVAC system professional from 大象传媒 Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to determine the size of the geothermal system needed to heat and cool your home.
No two homes in the U.S. are alike, so we鈥檒l give you a free quote for your specific home to ensure you get the greatest energy-efficiency boost. Geothermal systems can be installed alongside your current system or can fully replace a regular system, depending on your weather. Ask us for more details.
We鈥檒l help you decide on the best setup for your home, depending on availability of land and water resources, whether it鈥檚 horizontal loop, vertical loop, or pond loop.
Despite the name, geothermal heat pumps are 2-in-1 systems that provide both heating and cooling. They utilize steady below-ground temperatures to efficiently both heat AND cool your home.
Geothermal heat pumps can draw on the thermal energy of the ambient temperature underground or the temperature of a body of water. You鈥檒l want to choose between a ground-source or water-source model.
At 5 feet below ground, the temperature is much more consistent throughout the year. Ground-source heat pumps use this consistency to transfer heat in or out of a building. In heating mode, they pump underground heat into the building, while cooling mode reverses the process to send heat underground for later use.
Ponds, lakes, and other sources of water can also offer consistent internal temperatures. Water-source heat pumps are particularly useful for cooling, as long as there鈥檚 a nearby body of water that鈥檚 at least 陆鈥撀 of an acre and 8 feet deep.
We start by locating any existing underground utilities to make sure that breaking ground won鈥檛 disturb anything. Pipes are then placed underground in a U-shaped pattern; any open spots can be refilled with grass seed or sod.
Then we install the internal components of the geothermal HVAC system, which is similar to what you might expect from traditional heating or central AC installation. We鈥檒l replace the old unit before connecting your new system to existing ductwork. Before you know it, you鈥檒l be enjoying energy-efficient heating and cooling!
Each geothermal installation project has its own schedule, so consult 大象传媒 Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing about how long your installation will take.
Once we install your new geothermal system, you鈥檒l be in control of it like any other HVAC equipment. And, like with any HVAC, you should schedule our routine preventive maintenance to keep your geothermal system in peak condition.
Geothermal heating and cooling can be as dependable as central forced-air systems, but with even greater energy efficiency. Make the most of these savings by staying up to date on maintenance.

Whether you need a quote for a new air conditioner or need to repair your geothermal systems, we can help!
Geothermal systems use energy from below ground to provide heating and cooling. They use a 鈥渓oop鈥 system by moving and delivering from either the ground or a water source in heating mode. In cooling mode, this process works in reverse by extracting heat from inside the home to the ground or a water source. The cold air in cooling mode is the result of the process of removing heat and humidity as air is recirculated.
Geothermal HVAC ends up being more affordable in the long run due to operational savings on utility bills, despite the up-front costs. And they鈥檙e more efficient than traditional central heating and cooling systems. There are also federal rebates and incentives that we can help you navigate during the installation process.
Geothermal systems don鈥檛 generate heat, instead using the Earth鈥檚 natural ambient temperature for climate control. You end up saving a lot of money on monthly utility bills, and geothermal systems can also last a lot longer. If you keep up with routine maintenance, you can get 20 years from a geothermal heat pump and as much as 50+ years for an underground loop system.
Yes! Geothermal heat pumps are similar to traditional central heat pumps in that they are 2-in-1 systems capable of providing both heating and cooling. Even with this potentially confusing name, geothermal heat pumps are just as effective at cooling homes in many different climates. In fact, they鈥檙e often the most efficient type of system available!
