How much does Geothermal cost?
The cost of a geothermal system varies from project to project. Every home is different and there are several key factors that determine the cost. These include size of the home, size and type of windows, direction the home faces, location of the well field, type of loop system, duct work, insulation type, new construction or retro fit. We use software to calculate a Manual J heat load. That is how we properly size the equipment. Top Q: What does a system like this cost? A: A system for the typical home will cost more than if you bought a separate furnace and central air-conditioning system. But you wouldn’t really be comparing apples to apples. To get an accurate comparison of costs you need to consider the following: Payback, or how long it takes to recover the difference in costs between the two systems using energy savings. Payback for most geothermal heat-pump systems runs two to six years. Energy efficiency of the two systems. To get an accurate picture, make sure efficiency clai
