Is a ground-source heat pump difficult to install?
Most units are easy to install, especially when they are replacing another forced-air system. They can be installed in areas unsuitable for fossil fuel furnaces because there is no combustion, thus, no need to vent exhaust gases. Ductwork, fan coils or radiant floor tubing must be installed in homes that don’t have an existing distribution system. The difficulty of installing ductwork or radiant floors will vary and should be assessed by a contractor.
