• Basic Plan: Typically includes routine inspections, filter changes, and basic cleaning.

How does geothermal heating and cooling work?

Geothermal HVAC systems use the relatively constant temperature of the earth as a heat exchange medium. During winter, heat from the ground warms the fluid, and this warmth is extracted by a heat pump and transferred indoors. In the summer, the process reverses, A heat pump extracts heat from the home and transfers it to the cooler fluid, which is then dissipated into the ground. Geothermal HVAC is highly energy-efficient, although installation costs can be higher due to the ground loop installation. It's an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home or business.

How much does a commercial HVAC system cost?

Commercial HVAC system costs can vary significantly based on factors such as:

• Building Size and Type: Larger or specialized buildings (restaurants, labs) have more complex requirements.
• System Type and Capacity: Different HVAC systems (e.g., rooftop units, VRF systems) have varying costs.
