How much does a geothermal heat pump cost?
If you’re getting a new geothermal system and you’ve never had one installed before, the cost will be anywhere from $12,000 to $30,000. That’s a wide range because several factors impact the cost: ground loop size and orientation, construction requirements, and so on.
Most installations don’t require ground loop replacement. They’re much more affordable!
For us, the cost for a typical geothermal heat pump replacement begins at $6,500. That includes pre-installation consulting (load calculation), the system itself, installation labor, and our post-installation quality audit.
