Below, read Don&#8217;s story:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>&#8220;Prior to getting geothermal, I had an oil fired central HVAC system. Everything worked fine, but the biggest problem was the amount of money I was spending on oil. I also really didn\u2019t like having an oil tank in my basement or that I was contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. I\u2019m a preservationist, and obviously fossil fuels aren\u2019t great.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>I had wanted geothermal for a long time. We\u2019ve been living in our home for 10 years, but when we moved it, we got quotes for geothermal that ranged from $50-80K. It was just out of my price range, so I wasn\u2019t able to pull the trigger on it. Now, with the federal tax credits, <strong>the cost is more than half of what I was quoted before<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>We were spending a lot of money on oil, and I didn\u2019t like the fact that I had a combustible material in my living space. When looking at geothermal, I considered the ballpark ROI for me, and how many years it would take to payback the system. <strong>Geothermal wasn\u2019t an expense for me, it was an investment<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>Now, I have no problems, even in the coldest weather, heating my home. <strong>Even in the harshest of winters, your system is still going to reach your set point and give comfort to the space.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>I\u2019d recommend geothermal for anyone looking to get off fossil fuels and heat and cool your their home with renewable energy. It\u2019s more sustainable, it provides for a healthier indoor air environment, the ROI is very good&#8230; <strong>it\u2019s like a win-win-win-win.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><em>Getting something much better for the environment, better for indoor air,&nbsp; and at a similar cost point to traditional HVAC equipment&#8230;<strong>It\u2019s a no-brainer, economically speaking and for the planet<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-e9317a10-9dd3-4802-b6ab-dd0bba8401ad\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" style=\"display: flex;
