The decision to replace your heating and cooling system in your house is not something that most people have to deal with any more than once or twice in their lifetime. That being said, the decision that you make is very important because you will have to live with it for a very long time. One of the first choices that needs to be made is what type of system should you install. Some types of systems may not even be available depending on what fuel source is available at your house. For example, there are many good choices of natural gas furnaces available, but if you don’t have natural gas at your house then there is no reason to research them. Although in some cases geothermal might not be the best option, It should always be considered.

If your planning on replacing your old non-geothermal system and installing a new geothermal system there are a few things to consider. In this application an earth loop will have to be added for the geothermal system to operate. There are multiple options such as vertical or horizontal closed loops, open loop well water system or pond loop.
