01 · Why it's different here

A long heating season is where geothermal earns it.

Geothermal pays for itself with runtime - and Iowa City has runtime: 6,114 heating degree days a year, per the NWS climate normals for the Iowa City station. While the air above swings from 17.7 °F winters to humid summers, the ground below stays steady, and a loop field in that steady ground heats and cools with remarkable efficiency, season after season.

It's also quiet: no outdoor condenser roaring by the patio. The system lives underground and in the mechanical room.

The honest part: geothermal is a real project, and it isn't right for every property. Loop fields need yard access, the house's ductwork has to be up to the job - worth checking in a housing stock whose median build year is 1984, per Census Bureau housing data - and the up-front cost is genuinely higher than a conventional swap. Federal tax credits may apply; we'll point you at the current rules rather than quote yesterday's.

So the first step is an assessment, not a pitch. If your lot or budget says no, we'll say no with you - and show you what we'd do instead. Permits per the city's mechanical permit rules are on us.

04 · Questions

Asked often.

Does geothermal really work in Iowa winters?

Yes - that's the point of it. The ground below frost line stays steady year-round, so the system draws from a stable source even when the air is brutal. Long winters are where the efficiency shows up.

What does geothermal cost?

More up front than a conventional system, honestly - it's a dig and a loop field, not just a box swap. We quote it in writing next to a conventional option so you can compare real numbers, and federal credits may narrow the gap.

Does my yard qualify?

It depends on space and access for the loop field. Some lots take a horizontal loop, tighter ones need vertical bores, and some genuinely don't work - we'll tell you which yours is before anything else.

Is my house a fit?

The assessment answers that: lot, ductwork, and how you use the house. If the answer is no, we say no - and show you what we'd do instead.
