Conventional HVAC or Geothermal?

harry_nj
9 years ago

Hello everyone, I am new to gardenweb. and looking to get some views on my situation. My home has 2 furnaces and they are pretty old. Can die anytime !

I already am familiar with upgrading the conventional hvac and know how much should it costs. approx 25K
So I am looking to get estimates in central nj for geothermal.

However I want to know what kind of figures I should expect for my 3500 sq ft home and has a half an acre of space around it.
