If you’re ready to save energy, lower your utility bills, and keep your home comfortable all year long, a geothermal heat pump might be your perfect solution. These systems use the steady temperature of the ground, not the outside air, to heat and cool your home with incredible efficiency.
At Godby Heating Plumbing Electrical, we’ve been helping Hoosiers stay comfortable for decades, and we know what works in Indiana weather. Geothermal systems are one of the smartest, most sustainable ways to heat and cool your home, no matter what Mother Nature’s doing outside.
We’re big enough to do it right, small enough to care—and that’s exactly how we approach every geothermal installation.
What Is a Geothermal Heat Pump?
Unlike traditional HVAC systems that pull heat from the air, a geothermal heat pump transfers heat to and from the ground, where temperatures stay consistent year-round.
In the winter, it pulls heat from the ground into your home. In the summer, it reverses, pushing heat out of your home and back into the earth.
It’s one system that does it all: heating, cooling, and even water heating.
Geothermal heat pumps are known for their comfort, efficiency, and long lifespan. Here’s why more Indianapolis homeowners are making the switch:

Choosing the Right Geothermal System for Your Home
Not all geothermal systems are the same, and what works for one property may not be right for yours. Loop type, system capacity, and installation quality all play a big role in performance.
1.
System Sizing Matters
A system that is too large will cycle on and off too often, wasting energy. One that is too small will run constantly and struggle to keep your home comfortable. We perform detailed load calculations to get the sizing right from the start.
2.
Loop System Design
The efficiency of a geothermal system depends on the type and layout of its ground loop—horizontal, vertical, or pond/lake. We design the loop to match your property’s space, soil, and heating and cooling needs.
3.
Installation Quality
Even the best equipment will underperform with poor installation. Our technicians are trained to follow manufacturer guidelines for loop connection, refrigerant handling, and system startup, ensuring peak efficiency and long-term reliability.
