Frequently Asked Questions

Geothermal

Are there any other benefits besides heating and air conditioning?

The heated water from a geothermal system can be used to heat water heater tanks or preheat water heater tanks, resulting in further cost savings.

What is the reason for the pipe?

Geothermal Heating and air conditioning is accomplished by passing heated or cooled water through a series of underground polyethylene pipes. The heated or cooled water transfers the energy from the water to the earth. The heat transfer system is achieved through the water and the ground.

What is the most expensive part of installing geothermal heating and air conditioning?

The most expensive part of installation is the excavation and installation of polyethylene tubing. The pipe can be laid either vertically or horizontally underground or in a lake or constantly wet pond. The system used in the laying of the required pipe is the biggest factor in cost. Let Powerbill Solutions sit with you and analyze what would be the most cost effective system to meet your energy needs.
