New house, retrofit or just supplementing the furnace

If you are building a new house you are clearly in the best position to choose a geothermal system which will pay back in low utility bills for the lifetime of the house. We recommend that the system be sized to provide all the heating and cooling the house needs so that your savings are maximized and you can, if you wish, eliminate natural gas or propane from the house altogether. You may be surprised how a small increase in your house loan payment to cover the geothermal is more than made up by the reduction in utility bills. You also of course have the luxury of selecting the heating and cooling system you want in your home to maximize your comfort within your budget. Check out our Design Process and then contact us.
If you are planning a retrofit of your present home get in touch with us to check how a geothermal system might fit into your plans and provide you with savings in the future. A complete replacement of the existing furnace or boiler is often possible to work in conjunction with your existing duct or radiant system. Contact us to discuss what would suit your needs.
If your existing furnace is relatively new you may want to consider a split system which allows you to use geothermal for most of the year but change over to the original furnace during the coldest snaps. This can save substantially on the initial geothermal costs but still reduce your annual bills by 50% or more. Click here for more details or contact us to discuss your needs.

Radiant floor, forced air, AC -It's your choice
Geothermal units are made to work in conjunction with whatever heating and cooling distribution system you choose.
If you want a standard forced air system the geothermal heat pump unit provides the necessary heating and cooling and the blower unit, just like a furnace with an AC unit. You can also add fresh air to the system, preferably via a Heat Recovery Ventilation unit, and a Humidifier Unit.
If you want radiant floors in your home the geothermal heat pump can provide the hot water needed to heat the floors.
There are even units designed for a combined radiant floor and forced air system.
