Is Geothermal Right for Your Home?

Geothermal can be installed in new builds or retrofitted into existing homes. Properties with adequate yard space for horizontal loops—or access for vertical drilling—are strong candidates. We’ll evaluate lot size, soil conditions, water table, existing ductwork or radiant piping, and your energy goals to confirm fit and outline options.

How Geothermal Works

A compact indoor heat pump connects to a buried ground loop. In winter, the loop absorbs heat from the earth and transfers it indoors. In summer, the process reverses and moves heat back into the ground. Because the system moves heat rather than creating it, it uses far less energy than traditional equipment. Many systems can also assist with domestic hot water using a desuperheater.

Our Geothermal Services

Geothermal Installation

We handle the entire project—from load calculations and loop design to permitting, drilling or excavation, indoor unit installation, and final commissioning. You get a turnkey system built for Bowling Green and Findlay homes, with clear timelines and upfront pricing.

Geothermal Repair

If performance drops, utility bills climb, or you’re seeing error codes or comfort issues, we’ll diagnose the indoor unit and loop side quickly. Our technicians service all major geothermal brands and restore efficiency without guesswork.

Geothermal Maintenance

The buried loop requires little attention, but the indoor heat pump benefits from regular care. We recommend a routine check of filters, airflow, refrigerant pressures, condensate drainage, and controls to keep efficiency high and catch small issues early.

Our Installation Process

Site Assessment and System Design

We measure your home’s heating and cooling loads, evaluate property and soil conditions, and determine the best loop type—horizontal, vertical, or pond/lake where applicable.

Permitting and Coordination

We obtain necessary permits and coordinate drilling or excavation, utility locates, and inspections so the project stays on schedule.

Loop Installation and Indoor Setup

We install the ground loop, pressure-test and purge it, set the indoor heat pump, and connect to existing ductwork or radiant piping. For homes without ducts, we design appropriate air distribution.

Commissioning and Homeowner Walkthrough

We verify performance, airflow, and controls, then show you how to operate the system and what basic upkeep looks like. You leave with clear settings and a maintenance plan.

Local Considerations in Northwest Ohio

Clay-heavy soils, high water tables in some areas, and mixed lot sizes around Bowling Green and Findlay influence loop selection and installation method. Our designs account for freeze–thaw cycles, groundwater management, and access for equipment so your system performs reliably year after year.

Cost, Savings, and Incentives

Geothermal has a higher upfront cost than conventional systems, but operating costs are typically much lower thanks to high efficiency and the stable ground temperature. Many homeowners see meaningful utility savings over time. Ask about current rebates, tax credits, and financing options to make the investment easier.

Repair or Replace?

If your existing geothermal heat pump is aging, frequently trips alarms, or struggles to maintain set temperatures, an evaluation can determine whether repair or replacement makes the most sense. Ground loops often last decades; indoor units generally have a shorter service life and deliver big efficiency gains when upgraded.

Geothermal Maintenance Checklist

Geothermal FAQs

Does geothermal work in Ohio winters?

Yes. Ground temperatures stay relatively stable below the frost line, so the system has a reliable heat source even when outdoor air temperatures swing.

How much yard space do I need?

Horizontal loops need more area; vertical loops use drilled boreholes and work on smaller lots. We’ll recommend the right approach after a site assessment.

How long does installation take?

Design, permitting, and loop work add steps compared with standard HVAC. We’ll give you a clear timeline based on loop type and property access.

How long will the system last?

Ground loops can last several decades. The indoor heat pump’s lifespan is typically closer to a conventional system and can be extended with regular maintenance.

Can geothermal help with hot water?

Many systems include or can add a desuperheater to assist with domestic hot water, improving overall efficiency.
