What We Do

Geothermal heat pumps that help Centennial homeowners achieve the lowest operating costs and stable year-round comfort

Covering ground loop excavation, closed-loop and open-loop heat exchanger installation, system sizing through load calculation, and performance testing to confirm efficiency targets.

  • Ground Loop Installation & Testing

    Excavation, heat exchanger burial, system connection, and performance testing

  • Site Assessment & Loop Design

    Soil testing, load calculation, and ground loop configuration planning

Why Aurora Heat Pumps

Ground loop systems engineered for Centennial's well-drained soils and granite outcrops

Most geothermal installations fail because contractors skip the site assessment or undersize the ground loop—leaving you with a system that never hits efficiency targets and takes decades to pay back.

Common Challenges

  • Upfront cost 2-3× air source systems

    Installation runs $20,000-$40,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home, making payback 10-15 years

  • Property may lack adequate land

    Closed-loop systems need 1,500-3,000 sq ft of yard space for horizontal trenching

  • Excavation disrupts landscaping

    Ground loop installation tears up lawns and gardens, requiring restoration afterward

How We Help

  • 300-600% efficiency year-round

    Ground temperatures stay 50-60°F, so geothermal systems deliver 3-6 units of heat per unit of electricity consumed

  • Closed-loop heat exchanger design

    Buried polyethylene pipes circulate refrigerant through the ground, transferring heat without groundwater contact

  • Load calculation for executive homes

    Technicians size ground loop length and heat pump capacity to match your home's heating and cooling demand

  • Stable performance in semi-arid climate

    Ground temperatures remain constant despite Centennial's temperature swings and low precipitation

How We Work

How Geothermal Installation Works

From site assessment to final testing, we arrange local Centennial technicians who handle every step.

  1. Site Assessment & Design

    Technician evaluates soil conditions, property layout, and heating load to determine ground loop configuration and system size

  2. Ground Loop Excavation

    Horizontal trenching or vertical drilling installs closed-loop heat exchanger pipes at required depth for stable ground temperature

  3. System Installation & Testing

    Heat pump unit connected to ground loop, refrigerant charged, and performance tested to confirm efficiency targets before final sign-off

About This Service

About this Service

In Centennial, geothermal heat pumps target executive homes, gated communities, and new construction where lot size and build plans allow a ground heat exchanger. The service suits owners who prioritize long-term operating savings and want a system sized to architectural plans and landscaping constraints.

Rolling foothill terrain and granite outcrops are common in Centennial, so vertical borehole fields are often selected where horizontal trenches are impractical. Drilling through well-drained soils or shallow granite affects rig selection, drill depth, and mobilization time.

Resulting systems deliver stable indoor temperatures and lower energy consumption, but drilling in harder ground increases installation cost and may extend the project timeline; a pre-bid site survey and soil/rock report clarify scope and cost expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about geothermal heat pumps in Centennial

Answers to help you decide if geothermal is right for your property.

An undersized ground loop never reaches target efficiency, leaving you with a $30,000+ system that performs like a $15,000 air source unit. You'll pay for geothermal upfront costs but only get air source savings—extending payback from 12 years to 25+ years. Site assessment with soil testing prevents this by confirming ground loop length and configuration before excavation starts.
Upfront cost runs $20,000-$40,000 vs $10,000-$18,000 for air source systems. Installation requires adequate land for ground loop excavation, which disrupts landscaping. Payback period typically runs 10-15 years through energy savings. Properties with limited yard space or short ownership timelines may not justify the investment.
Expect $25,000-$35,000 for a complete closed-loop system including ground loop excavation, heat pump unit, and installation. Horizontal trenching costs less than vertical drilling. Well-drained soils in Centennial reduce excavation complexity. Federal tax credits cover 30% of installation costs through 2032, lowering net investment to $17,500-$24,500.
Properties with 1,500+ sq ft of yard space, long-term ownership plans, and high heating/cooling usage see the best return. Geothermal systems reduce monthly energy costs by 40-60% vs furnace and AC setups. Payback runs 10-15 years. Homes with limited land or short ownership timelines benefit more from air source heat pumps.
Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat between your home and the ground using buried loop systems. Ground temperatures stay 50-60°F year-round, so the system uses less energy than air source models that fight outdoor temperature swings. Closed-loop systems circulate refrigerant through polyethylene pipes buried 4-6 feet deep, delivering 3-6 units of heat per unit of electricity.
Yes. Well-drained soils and granite outcrops make Centennial suitable for both horizontal and vertical ground loop systems. Horizontal trenching works for properties with adequate flat yard space. Vertical drilling handles sloped terrain or limited land. Site assessment confirms soil conditions and determines optimal ground loop configuration before excavation.
Site assessment takes 2-4 hours. Ground loop excavation runs 2-5 days depending on loop type and soil conditions. Heat pump installation and system testing add 1-2 days. Total project timeline runs 1-2 weeks from start to final performance testing. Landscaping restoration adds another week after ground loop installation completes.
