Here’s what we found

Geothermal may be a good option for you.

  • You may be able to install a vertical loop (more expensive) or a horizontal loop (less expensive, but requires a minimum of ½ acre).
  • Larger homes may be able to offset installation costs more quickly than smaller homes due to higher monthly savings.
  • Geothermal is one of the most environmentally friendly and longest lasting renewable options with special DTE rates.

Crunching the numbers*

On average, a 1,400 sq foot home in Michigan that switches from propane or fuel oil to a geothermal open loop system:

  • Requires about $20,000 for equipment and labor to install, after incentives (compared to $4,500 to install a new propane or fuel oil system)
  • Will see a return on investment in about 17 years by generating $890 annual savings in heating and cooling costs
  • Reduces emissions as much as planting 39 trees each year

An Air Source Heat Pump may also be a good choice.

  • One air source heat pump can effectively heat and cool a small home, and multi unit systems are an option for larger homes.
  • Air source heat pumps don’t require a large amount of land space like a geothermal system. Instead, its about the same amount as a conventional furnace and AC.
  • Air source heat pumps are an environmentally friendly option which are eligible for special DTE rates that provide a discount of about 30% in the winter, and 10% in the summer.

Crunching the numbers*

On average, a 1,400 sq foot home in Michigan that switches from propane or fuel oil to an air source heat pump:

  • Requires about $9,000 for equipment and labor to install, after incentives (compared to $4,500 to install a new propane or fuel oil system)
  • Will see a return on investment in about 5 years by generating $870 annual savings in heating and cooling costs
  • Reduces emissions as much as planting 25 trees each year
