- Water Spots on Your Lawn
- Loss of Heating or Cooling Power
- Heat or Air Not Sufficient
- Frost on the Pump
- Loud Noises
- High or Rising Electric Bills

Benefits of a Geothermal System
Installing a geothermal unit is of the best decisions you can make when it comes to your home. Unlike a furnace or A/C, it has the capability to both heat and cool your home - all without the use of fossil fuels or greenhouse gas emissions. It simply transfers heat to and from the earth – making a geothermal system an excellent choice for the energy-conscious, as well as those living in rural areas. While the initial install can be pricey, you’ll start to see payback on your energy bills within a few years. Additionally, installing a geothermal could make you eligible for a tax credit! These systems are also quieter than a traditional furnace or A/C unit, reduce humidity in the summer, provide enhanced cleanliness and safety, and promote a more consistent and even temperature in your home.
