Benefits of Replacing Your System

Similar to replacing a typical HVAC system, like a gas or electric furnace, replacing your traditional heat pump or older geothermal heat pump is standard for our experienced technicians. Our background-checked and licensed technicians are available for all your geothermal needs.

Benefits of replacing your old heat pump include:

• Environmental friendliness: Geothermal heat pumps are tremendously reliable and use solar energy (instead of fossil fuel) from beneath the earth’s surface or bodies of water.

• Return on Investment: The Department of Energy estimates that geothermal heat pumps can pay themselves off within five to 10 years of purchase. Expect to save up to 30% to 70% annually on heating costs ($400 to $1,500) as these systems outlast traditional heating equipment.

• Longevity: Standard heat pumps last 10 to 15 years. However, geothermal heaters can function without failure as they are underground. Their life span is 25+ years for indoor components and 50+ years for ground loops.

• Functionality: Geothermal heating systems operate quietly, are ideal for cold weather, and are investments that pay off over time.

Expert Installation

Geothermal heater installation varies. It can take about four days minimum to install, with two days for drilling and two days for installing the ground loops.

How Geothermal Heat Pumps Work

With underground temperatures stable at 50 to 60 degrees, pipes fill with conducting liquid underground (your yard or driveway) and then circulate through your home’s heat pump for thermal energy indoors. The steps work in reverse to cool your Kentucky home and remove hot air outside.

After your geothermal installation, consider setting up routine maintenance to detect any complications before they exacerbate. Our technicians will keep your heater working correctly.

Signs You Need a Geothermal Repair/Replacement

While self-sufficient, on rare occasions, older geothermal heaters may need repair or replacement. Repairs are usually only necessary annually. However, for units over 20 years old, you might see signs like:

• The above-ground pumps, compressors, and fans may need repair.
• It has worn-out pumps, a loss of power or heat, or you hear rattling noises.
• It has malfunctioning coils, corrosion, ductwork issues, or water pollution.
