What Makes Geothermal HVAC Installation Challenging?

  • Site-specific ground conditions and hydrology affecting loop placement and performance.
  • Soil and rock properties influencing heat transfer efficiency.
  • Land availability and underground utility considerations.
  • High upfront costs and varying installation costs are based on system size and complexity.
  • Specialized labor and equipment requirements for drilling, trenching, and piping installation.
  • Potential for short cycling and wear and tear if the system is oversized or undersized.
  • Need for precise calculations and manual J load calculations.

Our Process Overview

Preliminary Consultation and Site Evaluation

First, we begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your heating and cooling needs. We then conduct a comprehensive site assessment to determine the best location and method for installing the ground loop system.

System Design and Planning

Next, our engineers design a custom geothermal system tailored specifically to your property. We select the appropriate loop type and ensure the system meets your efficiency goals.

Permitting and Approvals

Before we break ground, we handle all necessary permits and approvals. This ensures compliance with local regulations and codes, giving you peace of mind.

Excavation and Loop Installation

Once permits are secured, we begin the excavation process. Be it horizontal trenching or vertical drilling, our experienced team carefully installs the ground loop to maximize efficiency.

Connecting the Loop to the Heat Pump

After the loop is in place, we connect it to the geothermal heat pump inside your home. This step involves precise plumbing and ensures a seamless integration with your existing HVAC system.

System Integration and Testing

Next, we integrate the heat pump with your ductwork or radiant heating system. We then rigorously test the entire setup to ensure optimal performance and address any issues immediately.

System Activation and Calibration

Once testing is complete, we activate the system and fine-tune its settings for peak efficiency right from the start.
