What to Look For & What to Expect
When evaluating a geothermal energy installation contractor, there are a few key questions you should consider.
Are they experienced?
Each system must be custom designed. Therefore, an experienced engineer who actually visits and evaluates your home or business in person is critical to make sure that you get maximum energy efficiency that’s right for you.
What components do they use?
The system is only as good as the quality of its parts and the skill of the technician who does the installation. Make sure your geothermal contractors or company knows exactly where their components come from.
How far and deep do they dig?
Length is even more important than depth. Short, shallow installations are cheaper and easier for the installer but less efficient at tapping all the potential energy from the ground. Dig into the work of the company or contractors you hire before they start digging at your site.
What guarantee do they offer?
Geothermal systems are generally durable and worry-free when installed correctly. However, if you happen to run into a problem, having a solid guarantee from an established company you can trust gives you peace of mind.
