Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I need for the loop field?
A vertical closed-loop needs just the footprint for drilling. A horizontal loop needs about 600 sq ft per ton of capacity. We'll assess your property during the free quote.
Will digging up my yard damage landscaping?
Trenching is minimal — usually at the perimeter or in areas that can be easily restored. We work with you to minimize disruption.
What's the maintenance requirement?
Very little. The ground loop is sealed and buried, so it requires no maintenance. The heat pump needs the standard annual tune-up like any HVAC system.
Can I retrofit a geothermal system into my existing home?
Yes, in most cases. If you have existing ductwork, we can often reuse it. We'll evaluate during your free quote.
What incentives are available in Rochester?
Federal 30% ITC under the IRA, plus NYSERDA rebates up to $5,000 for qualified whole-home systems. Rebate amounts change — we'll give you current figures during your quote.
