Frequently Asked Questions

How much does geothermal installation cost?
A typical residential geothermal system costs $18,000-$45,000 before incentives, depending on system size, loop type, and soil conditions. After the 30% federal ITC, costs drop to $12,600-$31,500. Vertical loop systems cost more but require less land area.
Is geothermal worth it in my climate?
Geothermal works in all climates because ground temperature is constant year-round (50-60°F in most US regions). It's most cost-effective where heating/cooling costs are high, especially for homes using oil, propane, or electric resistance heating. Even in mild climates, the high efficiency provides savings.
