At Aire Serv® of Billings, we specialize in installation, repair, and maintenance services for all four major types of geothermal HVAC systems:
- Horizontal loop
- Vertical loop
- Pond/lake

Installing a Geothermal Heat Pump: A Comprehensive Guide
When it comes to installing a geothermal heat pump system, the specific steps may vary based on the make and model you choose. But don't worry; Aire Serv® of Billings is here to assist you every step of the way, from initial investigation to installation and ongoing maintenance.
To ensure a complete system, three key components will need to be installed or retrofitted: the heat pump itself (including the air handler and geothermal exchanger), the closed- or open-loop system, and the ductwork or distribution system.
Trust in our expertise for a seamless geothermal heat pump installation experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all heat pumps geothermal?
No, heat pumps can be air source, geothermal (ground- or water-source), or hybrid.
How does a geothermal heat pump work?
Geothermal heat pumps use solar energy from underground or bodies of water to heat your home. In a closed-loop system, liquid-filled pipes are buried underground and circulate through the heat pump to bring thermal energy indoors.
When it comes to cooling your home, the heat pump reverses the process by absorbing hot, humid air and moving it underground to cool and dehumidify your space.
Do geothermal heat pumps work in cold climates?
Absolutely! Geothermal heat pumps are even more efficient than air-source pumps in cold weather. While temperatures drop outside, the ground remains relatively constant throughout winter. This makes geothermal systems an excellent option for homeowners in cold or four-season climates.
How much does it cost to install a geothermal heat pump?
Installing a geothermal system is a significant investment, but many property owners find that they pay for themselves over time! The exact cost will vary depending on the type of system you choose. Contact your local Aire Serv for more information on available options.
