Residential geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize geothermal heat pumps to heat, cool, and supply hot water to a home by transferring heat from the ground. These systems are more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC units and can reduce energy bills by up to 65%. Geothermal energy is an efficient, green, reliable, and low-maintenance heating and cooling solution. It’s becoming increasingly popular with private homeowners due to rising gas and oil prices.

Connecticut Wells is the Northeast’s expert in geothermal heating and cooling systems. Our team includes licensed well drillers with an average of more than 20 years of experience. Our experts are licensed to do the outside work, such as drilling and piping to your house. We work with licensed HVAC contractors to install the heat pump and the connections to the inside piping and ductwork.
Here is a step-by-step overview of how the installation process works:
Contact an Experienced HVAC Contractor
To start the process, we suggest you contact an HVAC contractor experienced in residential geothermal heating and cooling systems. If you don’t already have one, we have a few that we partner with who specialize in the design and installation of geothermal systems. These contractors service your area and can answer any questions you may have to get your project started.

Assess Your House Plans
When you contact the HVAC contractor, they will be able to assess your plans for your house and create a plan for the size of your system and the number of wells you will need. The HVAC contractor will conduct a Manual J test which calculates heat loss efficiency in a home or building. Wells are sized using this “heat loss” calculation and your home’s square footage to determine how many wells you need.
Once they calculate how many heating and cooling BTUs a home needs, they can size the heat pump and let us know how many wells the home needs and the depths of those wells.
Find a Suitable Place for the Wells
Once we receive the information about the required wells, we will find a suitable place for the wells on your property, following all of the laws regarding property lines, and septic systems.
