Is a geothermal heat pump difficult to install?
Most units are easy to
install, particularly when they replace another forced-air system. They can be
installed in areas unsuitable for fossil fuel furnaces because there is no
combustion, thus no need to vent exhaust gases. Ductwork must be installed in
homes that don’t have an existing air distribution system. The difficulty of
installing ductwork will vary and should be assessed by a contractor. Another
popular way to use geothermal technology is with in-floor radiant heating, in
which hot water circulating through pipes under the floor heats the room.
