It was an absolute pleasure working with Mark at Earth River Geothermal. He knows his stuff and worked with me on my geothermal project even though it took a long time working through hurdles with the county and specific difficulties with my property. He was able to answer all my questions and help me understand any questions I had.
At the time he partners with Allied Wells for drilling and Love's Heating and Air for HVAC work. Both are well known and reputable companies, it also put me at ease knowing Love's Heating and Air is a highly rated Waterfurnace GeoPro master dealer.
I did lots of research and talked to several geothermal installers in the area...read full review
Make that 4+. We got three bids and Earth River gave us the best deal and the best feeling about overall competence and responsiveness. They underbid the others by over 10%. Also, when county issues came up with sewer setbacks, Mark Schultz adeptly found the way through it. He and Terry Bair coached us on every aspect of the job and it turned out great. The system is well designed, made from high quality components, and works beautifully. Our only complaint is a chronic one for construction jobs. Everything takes longer than estimated or hoped. When the interior work began, however, things moved quickly and on schedule, which is important for work on an occupied home. For what it's worth, we suggest using an Ecobee thermostat rather than a Nest (which was our previous thermostat).
I thought Earth River Geothermal did an excellent job! We had a vertical heat pump put in by them replaces a two heat pump system in our house. They were professional and efficient in getting the job done, and everything has been working great. They also were very helpful in getting all the paper work done for the grants/tax rebates.
