Fishers, IN Geothermal Installation

One of the key benefits of geothermal systems is long term durability. Most of the equipment is inside your home or buried underground, so it’s not sitting outside in the snow, ice, wind, and summer storms like many traditional HVAC systems. That protection matters. Many ground loop systems can last 25–50 years, and the indoor equipment often runs 20 years or more with proper care. It’s a system built for year round comfort without constant wear from the elements.

Geothermal heat pumps work by using the earth’s energy instead of burning fossil fuels or relying only on outside air. Instead of creating heat, they move it, which lowers overall energy consumption. That’s where the energy efficiency comes from. In many homes, switching to geothermal can reduce heating energy use by 40–60%, depending on the system being replaced.

Unlike traditional HVAC systems that react to outdoor temperature swings, geothermal systems pull from a more stable underground source. That helps maintain a more consistent temperature throughout the home. Fewer rooms that feel too hot or too cold. Just comfortable living spaces in every season.

Because geothermal doesn’t burn fossil fuels inside your home, it supports better indoor air quality and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint. There’s no combustion happening in your basement or utility room. It’s highly efficient heating and cooling technology doing its job with less environmental impact.

Yes, geothermal can often be installed in an existing home. We evaluate your yard space, layout, and current setup to determine the right system for your property. Our team has a deep understanding of how to adapt geothermal to both newer homes and long-established properties.

A horizontal loop system typically requires a yard area large enough for trenches that may range from 100 to 400 feet per trench. Many homes need roughly ¼ to ¾ of an acre of usable space. 

If space is limited, vertical boreholes are often used instead of horizontal trenches. These are drilled straight down, sometimes 150–300 feet deep, and require far less surface area. This option works well on smaller lots.

In many homes, yes—but the ductwork must be properly sized and sealed. We inspect airflow, insulation, and return capacity to ensure the system can run at peak efficiency. If modifications are needed, we’ll outline them clearly so the system performs the way it should.

Most geothermal systems can heat your home through typical Indiana winters. Some systems include electric resistance backup for extreme weather, but it only runs when needed.

Geothermal systems require minimal maintenance compared to conventional equipment, but annual service is still recommended to make sure your equipment lasts as long as possible. At home, your main responsibility is to change your air filter regularly, keep the area around the indoor unit clear, and let us know if you notice performance changes.

We recommend Bryant geothermal systems because of their reliability, efficiency ratings, and long-term performance. As a Bryant Authorized Dealer, we meet strict standards for training, installation quality, and customer service. That means we’re factory-trained to install and service Bryant equipment correctly. We’ll walk you through the available models and help you choose the best system for your home and budget.
