We’ll Guide You Through Every Step

Since geothermal is a newer form of heating and cooling, it can seem intimidating and unfamiliar at first. But with our crew in your corner, it’s smooth sailing from day one.

First, we’ll have a site visit to fully understand your needs and determine whether geothermal heat pumps in Portland OR, are right for you. Before any work begins, we’ll consider all crucial factors, such as excavation, the size of your system, and the project scope. All these things will impact the final cost, and we’ll share everything with you upfront for full transparency.

We know the different challenges involved and how to best overcome them. For instance, if you don’t have enough space on your property to facilitate the 2,000-plus feet of piping that we’d normally recommend, we can drill 200-foot wells into the ground and run piping through the wells, drill horizontally underneath the house or use our WaterFurnace Hyperloop product.

We are one of the largest WaterFurnace geothermal contractors west of Iowa. We choose to work with these products specifically because they lead the industry for efficiency and reliability. We carry a wide range of options for all lot sizes, from 5,000 square feet all the way to houses on acreage.

WaterFurnace geothermal heating and cooling systems are available in three basic configurations, designed to answer any situation or challenge with maximum efficiency and superior energy savings. All-in-one systems satisfy heating needs in the winter and cooling needs in the summer, replacing conventional indoor furnace/outdoor air conditioning applications. In addition, split geothermal systems offer versatility and can either target specific zones or condition the entire home. Hydronic geothermal systems work well with radiant floor heating, domestic hot water, and snow/ice melt applications. The knowledgeable technicians from Sky will help you determine the right solution for your exact requirements, providing the information you need to make the best possible decisions.

Answers from our FAQ pages

Are Geothermal Heat Pumps Energy-Efficient?

Burning fuel sources to create energy has inherent inefficiencies. However, a geothermal system is about 400% efficient. It actually supplies four units of heat energy for every unit of energy used. Most of the energy that delivers heating is supplied from the ground. Just a fraction of it involves the consumption of electricity.

What’s the Difference Between a Geothermal and Regular System?

A conventional heating system produces heat by burning oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels. Different components provide heating or air conditioning. In addition to providing cool air and heat, a geothermal system requires no fossil fuels to transfer heat to and from the ground. It is efficient, environmentally friendly, and more affordable to run.

Can You Get Any Tax Credit for Installing a Geothermal Heat Pump?

The federal tax credits for installing a residential geothermal heat pump have been renewed through 2021. Through 2019, the tax credit was 30%, which will be reduced annually. To qualify for the tax credit, your system must meet/exceed the requirements of Energy Star, and you can claim the cost of equipment, parts and materials, digging, and labor.
