A system that simplifies your build
We often install ground loops ahead of the foundation work, so that drilling can happen on rough grade and we’re out of the way before the foundation is poured. This also saves money by eliminating the need for a horizontal tie-in.
Geothermal heat pumps are straightforward to install. There are no refrigerant linesets to run or charge. There is no concrete pad to set, or electrical disconnect to install. No gas lines need to be run, and no utility coordination is required.
