Lake Country Geothermal

A heat pump – reversible refrigeration technology with sophisticated controls – is positioned between your home’s heat distribution system(s) (e.g. forced-air ductwork, radiant floor heating, a hydronic baseboard) and a network of water pipes that we bury in the ground. The heat pump concentrates the Earth’s heat absorbed by the recirculating water which raises its temperature significantly so that it can be used to heat your house in the winter. In the summer, it absorbs the heat in your house, concentrates it, and transfers it to the recirculating water which expels it to the Earth.

A geo system is powered entirely by electricity, so there is no onsite combustion required. It’s incredibly efficient – 300-600% (depending on the circumstances) – and unaffected by the weather. It requires little maintenance. Properly designed and installed, the average heat pump life is 25% longer than furnaces and boilers; the ground loop should last for generations. The systems are very adaptable – forced-air heating & cooling, potable water heating, radiant floor or baseboard heating for new and existing homes.

Converting to geothermal typically reduces your annual heating energy costs by 50-70% versus heating with propane or oil; 80% versus electric baseboard! Incentives from New York State and the Federal government are currently available and can offset up to 55% of the installation cost. Financing is available for the rest.
