What is a Master Geothermal Installer?

It’s a program that the Wisconsin Geothermal Association developed that help consumers identify expertly trained, highly experienced, extremely qualified and ethically responsible geothermal professionals.

Why was the WGA Master Geothermal Installer needed?

In Wisconsin, there are no state licensing requirements necessary to install geothermal systems, though there are requirements for vertical heat exchange boreholes (including the looping and grouting).  The Master Geothermal Installer program helps ensure that systems are designed and installed correctly!

Master Geothermal Installers (System and Loop Field) are required to have a minimum amount of experience, formal training, and continuing education in the installation of geothermal systems in order to qualify to take a stringent exam, which they must pass before becoming a Master Geothermal Installer. Master Geothermal Installers must also commit to the Wisconsin Geothermal Association’s Code of Ethics and to continuing education.
