What is a geothermal heat pump? A geothermal heat pump uses the steady temperature of the ground to heat your home in winter and cool it in summer.

Geothermal heating and cooling is one of the most efficient and enduring home comfort investments available today, and it's a technology our team at Excel Heating & Air Conditioning is proud to support. By drawing on the stable thermal energy stored just below Earth's surface, geothermal systems deliver reliable year-round heating and cooling at dramatically lower operating costs than conventional HVAC systems. The upfront investment is higher than a traditional system, but the long-term savings, reduced environmental impact, and exceptional durability make geothermal a genuinely compelling choice for the right property and homeowner.
Since 2003, Excel Heating & Air Conditioning has built a customer reviews in our service area for honest, expert HVAC services, and that same standard applies to every geothermal project we take on. Our technicians bring real hands-on experience with geothermal systems, and we approach every consultation with the transparency and straightforwardness our customers have come to expect. If geothermal is a strong fit for your property, we'll tell you why. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too, and help you find the solution that actually makes sense for your home and budget.
How Geothermal Heating and Cooling Works for Your Home
A geothermal heat pump uses the earth as a heat source in winter. In summer, the earth absorbs your home's heat. One system handles both jobs.
The reason it works is ground temperature. The U.S. Department of Energy says temperatures about 30 feet down stay relatively constant year-round, between roughly 50 and 59 degrees. Indiana's winter air swings far below that.
A buried loop of pipe carries fluid through the ground. The heat pump moves heat between that fluid and your home.
What Affects Geothermal Cost
Your price depends on your property. Four factors matter most:
- Home size
- Loop type, horizontal or vertical
- Soil and rock conditions
- The condition of your existing ductwork
The ground loop is the biggest swing factor. Angi's 2026 data puts the average geothermal heat pump installation at $15,206, with a typical range of $4,541 to $26,537. Those are national figures, not Excel quotes.
The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit also ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, according to the IRS.
Is Geothermal Worth It?
ENERGY STAR says certified geothermal heat pumps use 61 percent less energy than a standard model. Geothermal fits best if you plan to stay in your home for 10 years or longer.
Supporting Your Geothermal System at Every Stage
A geothermal system is a long-term investment, and it deserves long-term support from a team that knows what it's doing. Excel Heating & Air Conditioning provides comprehensive geothermal services designed to keep your system performing efficiently from the day it's installed through decades of reliable operation.
When it comes to new installations, we handle every aspect of the process with care, from the initial site assessment and loop field design through system commissioning and final walkthrough. We take the time to explain how your new system works, what to expect from it, and how to get the most out of it over time. Geothermal installations are complex projects, and our team approaches them with the thoroughness they require.
For existing geothermal systems, Excel Heating & Air Conditioning offers professional maintenance and repair services to protect your investment and address problems before they become costly. Geothermal systems are known for their longevity — ground loops can last 50 years or more, and interior components typically outlast conventional HVAC equipment by a significant margin — but they still benefit from regular professional attention. Our technicians diagnose geothermal issues accurately and repair them efficiently, with the same honest, upfront approach we bring to every service call.

Is a Geothermal System the Right Fit for Your Property?
Geothermal systems aren't the right solution for every home, but for properties that meet the right conditions, they're hard to beat.
Strong candidates for geothermal systems include:
- Properties with available land. Horizontal ground loop systems, the most common and cost-effective configuration, require a meaningful amount of outdoor space for loop field installation. Homes on larger lots or rural properties are often excellent candidates for this setup.
- Properties with access to water. Homes situated near a pond, lake, or other suitable water source may be candidates for a surface water loop system, which can reduce installation complexity and cost compared to ground-based alternatives.
- Homes with limited lot space. For properties where horizontal loops aren't practical, vertical loop systems can be drilled into a smaller footprint. While the drilling process involves more upfront cost, vertical systems are a viable path to geothermal efficiency even on tighter lots.
- Long-term homeowners. Geothermal's financial case is strongest for homeowners who plan to stay in their home for many years. The upfront investment pays back through lower energy bills over time, making it a particularly smart choice for those with a long horizon.
- Homeowners focused on efficiency and sustainability. For customers who prioritize reducing their energy consumption and environmental footprint, geothermal is one of the most impactful upgrades available, delivering heating and cooling with a fraction of the energy required by conventional systems.
Every property is different, and the best way to know whether geothermal makes sense for yours is to have an honest conversation with a qualified professional. Our team at Excel Heating & Air Conditioning is happy to walk you through the options and give you a straightforward picture of what geothermal could look like for your specific situation.

Geothermal Questions
How much does a geothermal heat pump cost?
Angi's 2026 data shows an average of $15,206 and a typical range of $4,541 to $26,537. The ground loop and home size drive most of the difference.
Is the federal tax credit still available for geothermal?
No. The IRS says the Residential Clean Energy Credit doesn't apply to property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Ask your electric utility about current incentives.
Is geothermal worth it in Indiana?
It pays off for homeowners who stay 10 years or longer. ENERGY STAR says certified models use 61 percent less energy than a standard model.
Do I need a big yard for geothermal?
Horizontal loops need open yard space. Vertical loops fit smaller lots but cost more because they require deep drilling.
