Geothermal Heating & Cooling Solutions Experts
A & C Geothermal has been delivering exceptional heating and cooling solutions since 1977. Founded by Steve Anderson as a plumbing business, our company has evolved into a leader in geothermal and radiant heating systems while maintaining our family-owned values. With over four decades of experience, we combine technical expertise with personalized service to meet residential and commercial needs. Our team holds certifications from the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association and partners with industry leaders like Bosch and Carrier. We pioneered Tennessee's first geothermal installation in 1993 and continue innovating with ductless mini-split systems and radiant floor heating.Our commitment to green solutions drives every project, from system design to maintenance agreements. Backed by memberships in the U.S. Green Building Council and Home Builders Association of Greater Knoxville, we ensure every installation meets rigorous environmental and quality standards. Our customer-centric approach includes personalized education about system benefits and 24/7 support for urgent needs. With three generations of Anderson family leadership, we maintain the same integrity and workmanship that built our reputation. From initial consultation to ongoing maintenance, our goal remains providing energy-efficient solutions that deliver long-term savings and comfort.

Geothermal Heating
Geothermal systems harness underground temperature stability for efficient heating. Water circulates through underground loops to transfer heat, reducing energy consumption by 60-70%. Ideal for new construction or retrofits, these systems integrate with existing ductwork while qualifying for federal tax credits. Our certified technicians ensure proper loop design and system sizing for maximum efficiency.
Radiant Floor Heating
Radiant floor systems circulate warm water through tubing beneath floors for even heat distribution. This eliminates cold spots and improves air quality by reducing dust circulation. Perfect for new construction or renovations, our installations include concrete slab and retrofit options with smart thermostat controls for energy optimization and comfort.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless systems provide efficient heating and cooling without traditional ductwork. Our installations connect multiple indoor air handlers to single outdoor units, allowing independent temperature control per room. With SEER ratings up to 32, these systems deliver 50% energy savings compared to conventional HVAC while offering flexible mounting options and quiet operation.
Industrial Process Cooling
Industrial geothermal systems maintain precise temperatures for manufacturing processes. Our commercial installations use closed-loop configurations to regulate equipment temperatures without chemical refrigerants. These systems reduce operating costs through energy recovery while meeting strict environmental compliance standards for industrial facilities.
Radiant Snow Melt
Radiant snow melt systems prevent ice accumulation on walkways and driveways. Tubing networks beneath surfaces circulate warm water to maintain safe, ice-free pathways. Our installations integrate with existing heating systems, providing automated winter maintenance solutions for residential and commercial properties while eliminating salt damage to surfaces.

Questions
What makes geothermal heating more efficient?
Geothermal systems use stable underground temperatures to transfer heat, achieving 400-500% efficiency compared to traditional HVAC systems.
How does radiant floor heating work?
Radiant systems circulate warm water through tubing beneath floors, providing even heat distribution without air ducts.
Are there tax credits for geothermal installations?
Yes, current federal tax credits cover 30% of geothermal system installation costs through 2025.
Can ductless systems cool multiple rooms?
Ductless mini-splits can connect up to four indoor units to one outdoor compressor for zoned cooling.
What maintenance do geothermal systems require?
Annual inspections and filter changes ensure optimal performance, with closed-loop systems needing minimal ground loop maintenance.
How long do geothermal systems last?
Ground loops typically last 50+ years, while heat pumps operate 20-25 years with proper maintenance.
