FAQs

Geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize the earth’s stable underground temperature to heat and cool homes. This process involves a heat pump that transfers heat from the ground into your home during winter and reverses the process during summer.

A geothermal system consists of a heat pump, a heat exchanger, and a distribution system. The heat pump circulates fluid through pipes buried in the ground, absorbing heat in the winter and releasing it in the summer. This allows for efficient temperature regulation throughout the year.

Geothermal systems are energy-efficient, providing savings on utility bills, lower carbon emissions, and long-term durability. They require less maintenance compared to traditional HVAC systems and can increase the value of your home.

Yes! Homeowners can benefit from a 30% federal tax credit through 2032, a 25% state income tax credit, and rebates from the NYS Clean Heat Program for geothermal installations. These incentives can significantly offset installation costs. More details can be found

Homeowners can save between 30-60% on heating and cooling costs with a geothermal system, depending on various factors such as system efficiency and energy rates in your area.

Installation time can vary based on the system size and site conditions, but most geothermal systems can be installed within a few weeks.

Most properties are suitable, but factors such as soil type, land availability, and existing infrastructure will be assessed by a professional installer during a site evaluation.

Geothermal systems typically require less maintenance than conventional HVAC systems. Annual checks and periodic filter replacements are usually sufficient to keep the system running efficiently.

With proper maintenance, geothermal systems can last 20-25 years for the heat pump and over 50 years for the underground loop system.

Yes, geothermal systems can be designed to provide hot water in addition to heating and cooling your home, allowing for even greater energy savings.
