Geothermal devices rely on heat that is stored a few feet below the earth’s surface to help heat or cool the inside of properties. Pumps on the system are connected to indoor air handling units that move cool or warm air throughout the properties they are installed in. We are able to supply and install a wide range of these systems in residential or commercial properties located in and around the Waterford City, VA area.
Benefits of Geothermal Installation
Although these systems are expensive to install, they more than make up for this in that they are extremely quiet, reliable and affordable to operate. Geothermal systems are able to lower a property’s energy bills by between 30% and 75% if installed correctly and they are also considered to be the most efficient HVAC option on the market at present. Owing to the fact that these systems rely on the earth’s natural energy sources to operate, no additional fuel sources such as wood, coal or gas need to be purchased in order to operate them. This means that property owners can rest assured that their new system will not be polluting the environment in any way while it is in use.
Average Cost of a Geothermal Installation
The cost of having a geothermal installation performed will depend largely on the size of the property that needs to be heated and cooled, the size of the loop field, whether current ducting is usable and the size of the pump that is being installed. The larger the property is, the more the installation will cost. For example, a system with a heating and cooling load of 60,000 BTU installed in a 2,500 sq. ft. property will cost anywhere between $18,000 and $30,000 to install.
Our technicians will be more than willing to visit your property to provide you with an accurate quotation as well as any other information you may require about these energy systems.
Points to Remember
Although there may be DIY geothermal installation kits available, these systems should not be performed as DIY installations under any circumstances. Specialized equipment is required to perform modifications to existing duct work and to install the loop system that is needed to operate the system. As a result, they should only be installed by qualified and experienced technicians. This will also ensure that there is a full warranty in the event of the system malfunctioning. We have an excellent team of qualified and highly experienced installation technicians who will ensure that every aspect of the installation is performed according to current safety regulations and standards.
