Ground Source Heat Pump

Action: 2583 - Heating & Cooling with Heat Pumps

In 2018, under the HeatSmart program, we installed a Ground-Source Heat Pump system for heating and cooling.  One unit in the basement, with new ductwork, handles the first floor,  A second compressor in the basement with air handler in the attic covers the second floor through pre-existing A/C ductwork.  Cooling is much more efficient than our old central A/C.  Heating uses a lot more electrical power, but is still cheaper to run than our old oil-fired baseboard heating (even with more comfortable thermostat settings).

We used Bill Wenzel Heating and A/C for the installation, and Skillings & Sons for drilling the ground-source wells.  Both were highly professional, and we are happy with the results.
