Geothermal Heating and Cooling Installers in Virginia

A geothermal, or ground-source, heat pump moves heat to and from the earth through a buried loop instead of exchanging it with the outside air, which keeps its performance steady through a Virginia January that an air-source unit has to work harder in. Fewer contractors do this work, and it involves excavation or drilling, so the list is shorter than the others on this site.

Every contractor on this page states on its own website that it installs or services geothermal systems. Because a loop field is a construction project as well as a mechanical one, the size of the contract can push a job into the Board's Class B range, which starts at $30,000 per project, and a written contract with a start date, a completion estimate and the permit commitment the regulations require is the baseline, not a courtesy.
