Geothermal

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, GeoExchange is the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning system. Andrews & Foster is on the cutting edge of this proven technology and can install your geothermal system based on industry guidelines and our years of quality drilling experience where customer service and satisfaction is our primary goal.

Geothermal systems transfer heat from your home or business to the earth in the cooling mode, or from the earth to your home or business in the heating mode. Geothermal provides comfort year round while significantly reducing energy costs.Andrews & Foster can drill and install vertical loop piping for geothermal systems in new homes or businesses or can retrofit to existing homes or buildings.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption and corresponding emissions up to 44% compared to air source heat pumps and up to 72% compared to electric resistance heating with standard air conditioning systems. The life expectancy of a geothermal system is almost double that of a conventional heating and air conditioning system. According to the

EPA, GeoExchange systems average 40% greater efficiency than air source heat pumps, 48% greater efficiency than gas furnaces, and 75% higher efficiency than oil furnaces.

Today's most efficient GeoExchange systems outperform the best gas technology and gas heat pumps by an average of 36% in the heating cycle and 43% in the cooling cycle.

In addition to generating cost savings, GeoExchange provides:

  1. Heating without combustion of fossil fuels
  2. No carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide
  3. Increased safety
  4. Simpler design, maintenance, and operation
  5. Free hot water in the summer
  6. No unsightly/noisy air conditioning or air source heat pumps in the yard

New legislation, P.L. 110-343, provides tax credits through the year 2016 for installation of geothermal systems.
