Michigan's Geothermal Service Experts
Geothermal systems use the Earth’s constant temperature to heat and cool buildings, and can also provide hot water. They are more efficient and cost-effective than air source heat pumps, and can last two to four times longer. Geothermal systems use a ground heat exchanger, which is a loop of pipes buried in the ground near the building. A fluid, usually water or a mixture of water and antifreeze, circulates through the pipes to absorb or release heat from the ground. In the winter, the heat pump transfers heat from the ground into the building, and in the summer, the process is reversed. Geothermal systems can be used in all types of buildings, including homes, office buildings, schools, and hospitals.

Geothermal Installation
Selecting the right heating and cooling equipment for your home can be difficult. Beware of contractors that may try to sell you Geothermal Systems with more capacity then you need. Even though more capacity sounds like a good thing, a system that is too big for your home will heat and cool too quickly leading to short cycling. The short cycling can lead to wear and tear on the system, inadequate dehumidification and reduced product lifespan. Before any new equipment is recommended for your home, the experts at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning will perform a careful analysis of your home’s heating and cooling requirements, after which we can determine the optimum equipment capabilities and energy-efficiency ratings to give you the best return on your system.
Geothermal Repair
One of the primary perks of installing a geothermal system is its self-sufficiency and longevity. However, there are rare occasions when a geothermal system will require repair. Repairs for geothermal systems can cause anxiety in homeowners due to the difficulty of access. Don’t panic – most geothermal heating system repairs strictly pertain to the above-ground fans, compressors, and pumps. If a problem does arise in your system’s subterranean section, our trained technicians at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning have the tools and skillset to get the job done.
Geothermal Maintenance
One of the many benefits of a geothermal system is that they do not require annual maintenance, however, it is still important to have Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning in Jackson, Michigan service your system every few years to ensure your system’s components are working properly for years to come.

How Do Geothermal Systems Work?
Unlike traditional furnaces and boilers, a geothermal heating system does not need to burn fuel to create heat. Instead, geothermal heat pumps pull heat from underground soil and water sources. The temperature underground enjoys relative stability – with a consistent temperature between 50°F and 60°F. After creating heat in its loop pipe configuration, the geothermal heat pump cycles this energy into the home – delivering warmth and hot water with tremendous reliability. A geothermal heating unit is an investment that pays off over time. Eco-friendly, well-insulated, and cost-effective, you can count on a geothermal heating system to reduce energy costs, outlast traditional HVAC equipment, and operate quietly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Geothermal Heating and Cooling System?
A geothermal heating and cooling system uses the natural heat stored in the earth to provide energy-efficient temperature control for your home or building.
It works by tapping into the relatively stable temperature of the earth below the surface, typically 10 to 20 feet deep, to heat or cool your home. A geothermal system consists of a heat pump, a heat exchanger, and a system of pipes buried in the ground (called a loop system). In winter, the system absorbs heat from the earth to warm your home, and in summer, it works in reverse by transferring heat from your home back into the earth.
Geothermal systems are highly efficient and can provide both heating and cooling with a much lower environmental impact than traditional systems.
What are the Benefits of Geothermal Systems?
Geothermal systems offer several significant benefits. They are energy-efficient, reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 70% compared to conventional systems. They also have a smaller carbon footprint, as they don’t burn fossil fuels and use renewable energy from the earth. Geothermal systems are durable, with the underground loop system typically lasting 25-50 years and the heat pump lasting 20-25 years. They provide consistent indoor comfort throughout the year, with minimal noise and maintenance.
Additionally, geothermal systems can be used for water heating, further enhancing their efficiency. Many homeowners also find that geothermal systems increase the resale value of their homes due to their long-term savings and environmental benefits.
How Much Does a Geothermal System Cost to Install?
The cost of installing a geothermal system can vary widely based on factors such as your home’s size, the type of loop system (horizontal, vertical, or pond/lake), and the complexity of the installation site. On average, the installation cost for a geothermal system ranges from $10,000 to $30,000. While this may seem high compared to traditional heating and cooling systems, geothermal systems offer long-term savings by reducing energy bills and requiring fewer repairs over time.
Additionally, some government incentives and tax credits can help offset the upfront cost. Over the life of the system, the savings on energy bills often outweigh the initial investment, making geothermal systems a cost-effective option in the long run.
Can a Geothermal System be Used For Both Heating and Cooling?
Yes, a geothermal system is a dual-purpose solution that can be used for both heating and cooling. In the winter, the system extracts heat from the earth and transfers it into your home, providing efficient heating. In the summer, the system works in reverse by transferring heat from your home back into the ground, cooling your living space. This ability to provide year-round comfort with a single system is one of the key benefits of geothermal systems.
They also help maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year, without the fluctuations often associated with traditional heating and cooling systems. Because geothermal systems use renewable energy from the earth, they provide an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home.
