Q: Is a geothermal heat pump worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, geothermal heat pumps are worth the money. You can save about 70% on heating costs in the winter and around 50% on cooling costs in the summer with a geothermal heat pump compared to a traditional HVAC system. Over time, your savings on monthly utilities will pay for the cost of the geothermal heat pump installation. If you have an incredibly small yard, however, you may not have enough space for this type of system. </p></div>

Q: What types of heat pumps are there?

• <div><p>There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts&mdash;an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn&rsquo;t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home. </p></div>

Q: What are common geothermal system issues?

• <div><p>Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps. </p></div>

Q: Can I stay in my home if there's a coolant leak?

• <div><p>While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.</p></div>

Went without any major problems. Heater was attached to a water soft machine, one of the connectors broke and they bdid not have one, had to order and return to fix. This did not cause any problem, a bypass was made, and the heater was able to be used.

It was done as promised.I had checked out the different brands and this band has a good rating. What sold them is it was the best price for heating with air. We were replacing a propane heater and the air was basicly a bonus.
