Residential Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems …

WPGHCI has been installing residential geothermal units for over 15 years now. Originally as a combination of Burtner Geothermal and Callen heating, then merged as Western Pennsylvania Geothermal. WPGHCI has installed residential systems in everything from 1000 sq ft homes to 18,000 sq ft mansions that require multiple systems.

WPGHCI prides itself in taking into account every possible piece of information that is available before sizing a geothermal system. A load study calculation is done prior to any estimate WPGHCI produces, and in retro-fit applications WPGHCI usually runs a blower door test and if necessary a thermal image scan of the home. (See our FAQ page for an explanation of a Blower Door Test).

When performing a load study calculation many factors are taken into consideration the insulation properties of the home, the window sizes their U-factors, how much of the basement is below grade, the direction the house is going to face, how much property is around the home and the terrain. (See our FAQ page for a more complete list of what WPGHCI would like to know in order to size a geothermal system for your particular application).

Dont let any company install ANY type of heating and cooling in your home unless they have completed a load study and taken into account all of the necessary parameters.

Once WPGHCI has gathered and processed all of this information, we are able to give you a highly accurate estimate of your options for installing geothermal as well as a cost analysis to show what it is going to cost you to operate the system in the coming years.

While residential geothermal applications are predominately forced air, geothermal does have the ability to produce hot water for use in radiant floor applications.

For most residential applications WPGHCI has chosen to use Water Furnace Geothermal units. ( See our products page for a link to the Water Furnace Website)

WPGHCI has employees with IGSHPA certification and Water Furnace Geo Pro Master Dealer Certification. We are member of the Geoexchange. Since installing our first system, WPGHCI now has well over 500 installations, throughout Western Pennsylvania and into Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland.
