system in our home in Suburban Boston. The installation was difficult because
our home was built in the 1950?s and all the air ducts needed retrofitting.
During the install, they increased the price by $10,000 because the install was
more difficult than they expected. Hard
to argue when your heating system has just been ripped out. They did a good job
refinishing our basement after the install.
At the end of the project, the owner of Geothermal USA
reported that he had miscalculated and would need to drill a third well in
order for the system to work properly.
This was done and he reported that the system was now working well.
Despite promises that this would be energy-efficient, we had
huge electrical bills for several years after the installation. I sent them a
summary of my electrical bills and they did not respond. Finally, we paid two
independent companies to evaluate our system. Both said that the wrong size
heat pump had been installed. An undersized circuit breaker had been used and
had actually melted. We were told that
we were lucky the house had not burned down.
We hired a company to correct the installation. This
contractor reported that the Geothermal USA install was the worst he has every
seen. The ducts were not sized correctly, the wiring was dangerous, the wrong
type of thermostats were used. We have now spent thousands of dollars trying to
get this geothermal system corrected.
I would not recommend retrofitting an older home with duct
work for HVAC or a geothermal system.
If you are considering a geothermal system in the Boston
area, find another company.
