7,550 sqft new construction with radiant floor
WaterFurnace Envision by Idaho Geothermal
The quality of construction on this new home is amazing. The total energy bills for Dec, Jan, and Feb 2011 are lower than a typical 2,500 sqft home in this valley. A single 6-Ton WaterFurnace geothermal forced air system provides all of the heating and cooling needs. The ground loop is designed large enough to support a future water-to-water geothermal heat pump. The future unit will power the radiant floor tubing that’s currently installed and ready. (more…)
6,500 sqft retro-fit
WaterFurance Envision by Idaho Geothermal
As the geothermal contractor on this project, we spent a week inside this home updating the ductwork system. A new main trunk line was added to support a two-zone system. This also included additions and modifications to the existing ductwork. Fortunately the first snow didn’t fall up there until the day after we backfilled this ground loop. This type of geothermal heating and cooling system featuring a WaterFurnace water source heat pump will become the most sought after heating system in McCall. (more…)
3,800 sqft new construction
WaterFurnace Envision by Idaho Geothermal
Soil conditions in Hidden Springs have been just as good as the Eagle area for installing ground loops. The weather could have been better but oh well. Geothermal heating systems make a lot of sense for new construction homes. When considering the alternative cost of a natural gas system install and the tax incentives, the pay back time on a geothermal system upgrade is relatively short. (more…)
7,200 sqft home – retro-fit
WaterFurnace Envision
Heating Contractor: Idaho Geothermal
This home was recently purchased in 2010. We removed two heating systems and replaced them with a single Waterfurnace Envision on a new geothermal loopfield. Now the entire 7,200 sqft is heated by a single water source heat pump. This became the third home over 7,000 sqft that we have heated with a single unit. (more…)

WaterFurnace Envision
Heating Contractor: Idaho Geothermal
This is a standard building lot in Hidden Springs. The loopfield took most of the back yard, but once backfilled one would never know it’s there. Our geothermal heating and cooling system will provide higher efficiencies and lower heating bills than a conventional system. (more…)
