Geothermal Heating
Geothermal heating systems extract solar energy stored in the earth to warm homes efficiently. Our closed-loop systems use underground pipes to transfer heat without burning fossil fuels. This renewable solution reduces heating costs by up to 70% while maintaining consistent indoor comfort.
Geothermal Cooling
Our geothermal cooling systems reject heat into the ground rather than using traditional air conditioning. This method cuts cooling costs by up to 50% while maintaining optimal humidity levels. The earth's stable temperature ensures efficient operation even during peak summer heat.
System Installation
We specialize in complete geothermal system installations, including ground loop design and heat pump placement. Our technicians handle residential and commercial projects, ensuring proper sizing and configuration for maximum efficiency and compliance with local regulations.
Maintenance Services
Our maintenance packages include annual inspections and performance optimization for all geothermal brands. Factory-trained technicians ensure system longevity through preventive care, with most clients requiring no service for 2.5+ years.

We provide tailored energy assessments to optimize geothermal performance. Our consultants analyze insulation, windows, and building design to maximize savings. This service helps clients achieve net-zero energy goals while qualifying for available incentives.

Zach came to our house and was very professional and explained everything about the geothermal system . He also helped us diagnose our problems with the oil burner system that we presently have. We are planning to use his company when we switch to geothermal next year.

If you could give 0 stars that's what would be appropriate. First time after my mom started her oil to gas conversion with Zach it took about 5 months for him to fully complete the job, my mom was into fall with no heat. The job was started in April and was not completed till September, after MONTHS of trying to get in touch with Zach and no response. Now my mother is having another issue with her hot water heater that he installed and we are going on week 2 or 3 of no response back. Save your time.

I contacted Zach the beginning of July. We met at my house had a great knowledgeable conversation about my geo thermal system and what he needed to do to correct it. He said he would get back to me in a few days with some quotes. I called Zach every week since. We are now going into the 5th week. I have called him directly spoke to him on his cell phone and every time promised I would see his estimate, texted him, even left messages at his office. Not a single phone call back and not even a quote. This was a specific job I really needed to get done in order for the system to go into electrical

After only 5 years owning a Climate Master , We've had to replace this unit in its entirety. Unstable pressure from improperly installed lines, refrigerant leaks & constantly shutting down as well as no back up emergency heat is what I've had to deal with this winter. The company who originally installed it & has since gone under had literally put us and over 100 customers through hell with the original installs. W'eve decided to cut our losses & replace then entire unit with a Water Furnace Unit. I've once again had to call on ZBF. After the nightmare I went through
