Well-Connect: A Hybrid Geothermal Solution for the Rural Homeowner


A hybrid geothermal solution for the rural homeowner

Geothermal energy has become the leading renewable energy source to heat and cool your home. It is reliable, clean, and residents with geothermal heat pumps don’t have to deal with loud noises or irritating odors from their system.


However, rural homeowners may not always qualify for a geothermal HVAC system upgrade. Installing a ground source heat pump requires heavy drilling and groundwork, and residents may be priced out of it being an option.


The solution to this problem is the brain-child of Dennis Schultz, who wanted to provide an affordable and green solution for homeowners who want to take advantage of geothermal without the cost or extensive digging. He patented the Well-Connect hybrid geothermal system.


What is Well-Connect?

This innovative system works year round in tandem with your ducted

furnace and well to heat and cool your household. Well-Connect utilizes the energy from your well water and connects to your furnace ducts to provide the whole household with a comfortable indoor temperature, offsetting the use of oil or gas to heat your home.


Hybrid geothermal systems do not replace your existing furnace, but provides supplemental heat to your home if needed on the coldest days. The result is a significant decrease in monthly heating bills, and renewable, clean energy heating your abode.


Unlike other traditional ground source heat pumps, a Well-Connect system can be installed in one day during any time of the year. No more waiting for the snow to melt or drilling into the ground to install.

Reduce Your Reliance on Fossil Fuels with Well-Connect

Like any hybrid product that utilizes renewable energy, Well-Connect greatly reduces your need for carbon-based fuels such as propane or oil. On average, homeowners who install a Well-Connect system in their homes reduce their propane usage by 800 to 1200 gallons per year.


Well-Connect also comes with a monitor that tracks your energy savings. You can request detailed performance reports that highlight key metrics on your energy efficiency straight to your inbox. Ensuring that you are always informed on your system’s productivity illustrates Well-Connect’s commitment to customer transparency.

In 2016, their CEO Dennis Schultz received the Michigan Governor’s Energy Excellence Award for patenting the hybrid geothermal system and providing rural families across the United States and Canada with a non-invasive, low-cost way to enjoy the benefits of a geothermal heat pump.

Qualify for Federal Tax Rebates When Switching to Geothermal

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides homeowners with substantial tax credits when they switch to an Energy Star qualified heating and cooling system. You can receive a tax credit of 30% of your total costs when you purchase a Well-Connect hybrid geothermal system. For more information on federal tax credit eligibility, click here.


Homeowners are Loving Their New Installation

Property owners who have Well-Connect installed in their homes have nothing but positive things to say about their financial and energy savings.


One resident named Lynne wanted a geothermal system for her home located in a wooded area, but could not afford the price tag that a traditional geothermal heat pump would cost. Lynne used propane in her home, but had no cooling, which was necessary to keep her dog Tara happy.


Lynne saw an ad for Well-Connect in a local magazine and decided to give them a call. After a home evaluation and installing the system, she saw a significant decrease in her heating costs and was able to provide Tara with clean cool air.


Lynne asks the public, “Why would someone heat with propane when they can heat with Well-Connect for much less and have it be better for the environment?”
