Replace Your HVAC System with a Geothermal Unit
Our vertical loop systems are able to be installed in small area’s and minimize disturbance to the yard. When needed and/or requested, we can also do a “horizontal bore” from the drilling area to the foundation to further eliminate damage to existing yards. Inside the home, our geothermal units are typically set in the same place as your existing equipment as they are not much larger in size. Existing ductwork is also utilized in most cases with slight modifications. Our complete in-house crew of loop installers, certified geothermal installers, plumbers, and electricians are able to handle complete retrofit installations with ease.
Benefits of Installing a Geothermal Unit
If you’re still not sure if a geothermal unit is the right move for your home, considering the following benefits. Geothermal units can help:
- Save energy. Up to 70% savings on heating, cooling, and hot water yearly cost.
- Increase comfort. Geothermal products provide much more comfortable, even heat. This is often one of the first things our retrofit customers mention to us – they are much more comfortable!
- Maintain a quiet home. Geothermal units aren’t noisy, so you won’t be bothered by it.
- No unsightly outdoor unit to maintain.
- 30% Dollar for Dollar Tax Credit on your Geothermal installation.
In most cases, our customers inquire about geothermal when their existing system is reaching the end of its usable lifespan and they are looking at options. Geothermal systems are typically double what a high-efficiency gas furnace or heat pump system’s lifespan would be. We are typically cutting yearly energy cost by $800 to $1200 per year, making the payback in the 4 to 5-year range. From an ROI standpoint – this is a 20-25% return! Factor in the enhanced comfort, no noisy outdoor unit, and equipment with double the lifespan of conventional equipment and it makes a Geothermal system from Arronco a very wise investment.
