Our Installation Process

Our Professional Geothermal Installation Process

Property Assessment & Geothermal Feasibility Evaluation

We begin with a thorough site visit to determine whether your property is a good fit for geothermal and what type of system makes sense. We measure available space for ground-loop installation, evaluate soil and groundwater conditions, assess your home's foundation and interior space for the indoor heat pump unit, review your current system, and discuss your comfort priorities and energy goals.

Visual assessment of available space for vertical or horizontal ground-loop installation
Soil boring samples to verify ground conditions for loop placement
Evaluation of groundwater access and underground utility locations
Heat-load and cooling-load calculations based on square footage, insulation, and climate
Electrical service evaluation and review of existing ductwork and equipment rooms

System Design & Equipment Specification

After assessment, we design your geothermal system: selecting the right heat pump size and capacity, specifying ground-loop configuration, calculating refrigerant and loop-fluid requirements, and planning electrical integration and thermostat controls. We recommend Armstrong equipment matched to your home's thermal needs and provide a detailed equipment specification and system design.

Heat pump size and capacity specified based on thermal load
Ground-loop configuration decided: vertical boring, horizontal trenching, or hybrid
Loop-pipe sizing, circulator pump, and expansion tank selected
Thermostat, control system, and electrical requirements detailed
Detailed written proposal with system design, equipment specs, and pricing provided

Ground-Loop Installation & Underground System Setup

Once you approve the design, our team begins ground-loop work—the most specialized part of the installation. For vertical loops, we bore 150–300 feet deep, install high-density polyethylene pipe, test connections for pressure integrity, and fill the loop with environmentally safe antifreeze. For horizontal loops, we trench below frost line and pressure-test the completed loop.

Underground utility locating completed before any boring or trenching
Vertical bore holes drilled to specified depth with professional equipment
HDPE loop pipe installed and connections pressure-tested
Loop filled with approved antifreeze and circulator pump installed and flushed
Landscape restoration completed and loop performance baseline documented

Indoor Heat Pump Installation, Electrical Integration & Commissioning

Once the ground loop is verified, we install the indoor heat pump unit, integrate it with your ductwork or hydronic system, run refrigerant lines to the outdoor loop connection, install the thermostat and control board, and complete all electrical connections. We test refrigerant charge under real conditions, verify safety interlocks, calibrate the thermostat, and commission the entire system.

Installation Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Installing a New Geothermal System

Most properties in Indiana can support geothermal installation. The key factors are: available ground space (for a vertical loop, you need 150–300 linear feet of bore depth; for horizontal loops, you need 1–2 acres of trenching space), electrical service capacity (typically a 200-amp service is sufficient), and adequate interior space for the indoor heat pump unit (usually 50+ square feet). We perform a geothermal assessment to confirm feasibility for your specific property and recommend the best loop configuration.

Vertical loops use deep borings (150–300 feet deep) and require minimal surface space—ideal for properties with limited land. Horizontal loops trench below frost line across your property—suitable for larger, flatter sites. Pond loops use existing water bodies if available. We evaluate your property's soil type, groundwater, and available space to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective configuration for your situation.

A typical geothermal installation spans 2–4 weeks from start to finish, depending on ground conditions and system complexity. Ground-loop installation (boring or trenching) usually takes 3–7 days. Indoor heat pump installation and commissioning takes another week. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly and understand when your system will be operational.

Ground-loop installation does involve some property disruption—boring or trenching access and backfill. We work to minimize landscape impact, respect your property's appearance, and restore graded areas after installation. Vertical bore holes are typically small-diameter (4–6 inches) and cause minimal permanent disruption. Horizontal loops require trenching but are backfilled and re-graded. We'll discuss site-specific considerations during your assessment.

Geothermal system costs vary based on your home's size, property conditions, equipment choice, and loop configuration. A typical residential installation ranges from mid-level to premium pricing compared to conventional systems—the investment is offset by decades of energy savings. We work with Service Finance to offer flexible financing options, and you may qualify for federal tax credits and state or utility rebates. We'll explain all financial options during your consultation.

Geothermal systems are among the most efficient heating and cooling technologies available, often delivering substantially lower energy use than conventional systems depending on your current equipment and home conditions. A properly installed and commissioned geothermal system can meaningfully reduce your annual heating and cooling costs. Those savings compound over the long service life of the system, making geothermal a smart long-term investment.

Not necessarily, but we'll assess your insulation and ductwork during the site evaluation. If your home is poorly insulated or has leaky ducts, your geothermal system has to work harder—reducing efficiency gains. We can recommend insulation upgrades or ductwork sealing to maximize your geothermal investment. Many homeowners choose to address these efficiency upgrades at the same time as geothermal installation to amplify energy savings.

Soil conditions can vary—rocky terrain, high water tables, or shallow bedrock might require modified loop designs or alternate configurations. That's why we perform soil boring samples during the feasibility assessment. If standard vertical boring isn't practical, we can recommend horizontal trenching, slinky-loop configurations, or hybrid approaches. Our goal is finding a solution that works for your property.

We conduct complete commissioning and performance testing before installation is considered done. We measure refrigerant charge, verify ground-loop performance, test all controls, and calculate actual system efficiency. You'll receive documentation showing your system meets design specifications. We also recommend a Geothermal Maintenance & Seasonal Tune-Up annually to verify continued peak performance and catch any efficiency drift early.

Geothermal can work as a standalone system for all heating and cooling, or as a primary system with your existing furnace and AC as backup. A standalone geothermal system maximizes efficiency and simplifies controls. Hybrid systems are useful if you're not ready for full replacement or want to phase geothermal in over time. We'll discuss both approaches during your consultation to find the best fit for your goals and budget.
