Geothermal heat pumps is system that uses heat energy stored in earth crest for heating or cooling with heat exchange done by liquid flowing in loop system of the pump. There are mainly three components of heat pumps loop field systems, heat pump unit and air delivery system.

Usually these geothermal heat pumps are easy to install. Installation is very easy if you are replacing another forced air system. This system also can be installed in areas where fossil fuel furnace can not be installed as there is no combustion so there is no need of vent for exhaust gases. For easy installation hire qualified and experienced contractor.

Usually all companies dealing in geothermal heat pumps supply basic information about the geothermal heat pumps and assessment of cost and benefits of that project. First thing you need is a feasibility study. Your contractor will need accurate building location, overview of heating and cooling loads of building and if available site plan. This study will help you to decide what type of geothermal project ideal for you.

After that qualified engineers and designers will make detail design of the geothermal system which will include all aspects of external work, layouts of the system and interface of system also building management system.

Once you have to decide which kind of loop system from open or closed and from all their subtypes. Project expert will decide best system for you depending upon the building structure and feasibility. And also the material which would use for loops. Then expert will undertake full range system installation from ground loop installation, heat pumps and controls.

Installation cost of geothermal heat pumps is higher as they require underground connections. Geothermal system costs about $3000 per ton of capacity and usually $8000 for 3-ton unit. Installing geothermal heat pump in an older home typically means much utility bills and all investment will be recouped in two to ten years.

You ca even ask for references from dealers. You can confirm capability and reliability of dealer. Once you install this system this system is very low maintenance and you will enjoying pollution free heating and cooling sytem.
