Downhole heat exchanger insurance
Why is a downhole heat exchanger insurance important?
Geothermal probes are the most common method of using geothermal heat in Switzerland. The probes extract geothermal energy from the soil and conduct it via a heat pump to a heating system. Accordingly, the energy and maintenance costs are low, so that the initial investment pays off in the medium term. Protection is therefore essential as a claim and any possible follow-up costs can be expensive and endanger rapid amortization.
Downhole heat exchanger insurance covers the probe itself as well as follow-up costs arising from the earthworks. These include work on the building, the excavation of pipes and the restoration of gardens and access paths. The costs of replacing a probe can quickly add up to a mid-range five-figure amount. Helvetia also ensures that you receive a replacement heater quickly if temperatures are low, as replacing a probe takes some time.
