Geothermal service in Rochester.
Rochester's aging housing stock -- Park Ave Victorians, South Wedge bungalows, East End rowhouses -- is prime territory for heat pump retrofits and geothermal loops in larger lots. The city's old steam-radiator homes present unique sizing challenges we specialize in. Geothermal heat pump systems tap the earth's stable 50F ground temperature to heat and cool your home year-round. With the federal 30% tax credit (IRC 25D) locked in through 2032 and NYS Clean Heat rebates stacking on top, the rebate stack on geothermal is as strong as it has ever been in Monroe County.

How it works
Getting started with geothermal in Rochester.
Site Assessment
We evaluate your lot size, soil type, existing heating system, and utility bills to determine the best loop type and system size. Most site visits take 60-90 minutes.
Permit and Design
We handle Monroe County permits, utility interconnection paperwork, and loop field design. Open-loop systems near water require additional DEC permit coordination which we manage.
Installation
Loop field drilling or trenching typically takes 1-3 days. Unit installation and commissioning takes an additional 1-2 days. We restore the landscape after loop field installation.
