Q: What factors affect servicing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.</p></div>

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 are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.</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>
