Skilled Geothermal System Installers Near You
Geothermal Installation Map
Installing a geothermal heating and cooling system in your Central Illinois home may seem overwhelming compared to the relative ease of replacing your traditional HVAC equipment.
However, the expert team at Hoveln Heating and Cooling is here to help you navigate the process. We specialize in geothermal energy systems!
After all, a part of the geothermal process entails digging in your backyard and installing a geothermal loop field. Installing a geothermal heating and cooling system takes considerably more planning and time. On average, it takes 3-6 months from the initial site visit to the system being operational.
What to Expect During the Geothermal Estimate Process
- The first step of the process is having one of our comfort advisors out for an on-site visit. They will determine the size of the system your Mahomet, IL, home needs, which is done by using a Manual J-based software. We will need to know the size of the home, the type of insulation you have, windows, doors, and the temperature you are most comfortable at.
- Your Hoveln Heating and Cooling comfort advisor will also evaluate your current system's ductwork to ensure there is enough supply and return ductwork to heat and cool your space properly. Lastly, we will ensure enough electrical power is available for the system to work.
- We will then present you with the options that would work best for your home and other available upgrades and options.
After you have made a decision, we will have the loop drilling company inspect your property and apply for all the necessary permits. Once the permits are approved, we can start work!
Geothermal Loop Installation Process
Loop installation requires excavation, which can sometimes be tricky depending on where you live and the size of your yard. Vertical loops do not take up as much space as horizontal loops do, but some yards are still too small. Several local and state codes might affect the installation-you can find them in the geothermal FAQ section.
After installation, we will ensure every part of the system works at peak efficiency. We will also take you on a visual tour of your new heating and cooling unit and explain thermostat use, air filter changes, and other maintenance tasks.

What Does a Geothermal System Cost?
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are more expensive to install than conventional HVAC systems but use significantly less energy when operating. The cost of a geothermal system varies widely depending on several factors, including the size of your home, the type of system, and the specifics of the installation.
The initial investment includes the cost of drilling and installing the underground loop system, which is the most significant expense. However, geothermal systems' efficiency, durability, and environmental benefits make them a worthwhile investment for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and lower utility costs over time.
Geothermal Heat Pump Federal Tax Credit
While the upfront cost of a geothermal cooling and heating system is higher compared to traditional HVAC systems, it is offset by lower energy bills-up to 72 percent-and federal tax credits or rebates. Installing a geothermal heating and cooling system qualifies for a 30 percent credit on your federal income taxes through 2032. Check ENERGY STAR® for more information.
