Why is geothermal taking off in the Northeast?

Homeowners are increasingly discovering geothermal as costs to install come plummeting down and drilling technology rapidly improves. You’ve probably heard of heat pumps, well geothermal is also known as a “ground source” heat pump. “Air source” heat pumps have taken the nation by storm, outselling furnaces since 2022 and by 32% last year. However, geothermal is even more interesting, because it’s more efficient than air source heat pumps, lasts decades longer & is much quieter without those noisy outside units.

Is this magic? Nope.

Geothermal simply works by using the natural and ever-present heat below your home: a constant 55° in summer & winter.  The system runs a long underground loop which brings the heat into the home in the winter & then does the reverse in summer, removing heat from the home and releasing it back into the earth. 

Geothermal systems are remarkably efficient 

Since a geothermal system is moving heat around instead of creating heat, it can reach efficiencies of 400%. Compare that to traditional options (e.g., furnaces) that have maximum efficiencies of around 96%, using more energy than the amount of heating or cooling they provide. This reduces energy costs while improving comfort with constant heat rather than sudden blasts of hot air from a furnace.

Thanks to the recent Federal Inflation Reduction Act incentives (a whopping 30%) and new financing available, you could have Day 1 savings, and get your system installed for $0 down.

If your home uses ductwork (not radiators) to heat and cool, check out the premier provider in the Northeast, Dandelion Energy, the company was actually originally incubated within Google and has done thousands of system installations across New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts already.
