From the initial assessment to completing the installation, geothermal can sometimes seem intimidating. But in truth, a properly trained professional will make the process seem simple. That's why more and more people are switching to WaterFurnace every year.
Step 1
Find An Experienced Dealer
Specialized training is required to successfully install a geothermal heat pump, so it's important to hire a well-qualified contractor. An incorrect installation can keep your geothermal heat pump from realizing its maximum efficiency and can negate any savings. Worse, it may cause your unit to fail prematurely. Unlike many other companies, WaterFurnace only sells to licensed contractors that have attended our training.
GeoPro Master Dealers
For an additional level of expertise, look for a GeoPro. The GeoPro designation signifies that an independent WaterFurnace dealer has committed to maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction, employee training and quality. They meet rigorous standards to earn and maintain their GeoPro designation.
A WaterFurnace dealer will visit you to learn more about your home and understand your specific needs. They'll also spend time running calculations to determine the heating and cooling demands you face throughout the year.
Step 3
Design
Whether you're replacing outdated equipment or building a new home, your contractor will tailor a geothermal system for your unique situation. Your dealer can provide solutions to many common problems like hot or cold spots, allergies, humidity issues, ventilation problems, and much more.
Step 4
Installation
Installations usually take around 2 days, depending on the complexity and size of your system. For longer projects, most contractors can set you up with temporary conditioning to keep you comfortable while the installation is being completed.
Step 5
Final Payment and Service Agreement
Many dealers offer attractive financing options that can help you enjoy low monthly payments or $0 down same-as-cash. We also suggest talking with your contractor about a service agreement. While our systems often require less maintenance and are designed to last for years, they should be inspected periodically to ensure peak performance.
