Best Answer

Installing a geothermal system in a home might cost 2-3 times as much as a conventional HVAC system. However, there are large tax rebates available to homeowners that install geothermal systems and the system usually pays for itself in less than 5 years. There are not too many companies that install geothermal systems either. You might have difficulty finding a company near your home. Once the technology becomes more commonplace, the price will come down and the availability will increase. If you want to learn more abotu geothermal techonology, please visit www.goeggsystems.com
