Anybody have experience they care to share?
Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium, Inc.
Several folks I worked with in Indiana had these YEARS ago. In addition to heating and cooling, they can also provide hot water. Unlike a traditional heat pump which exchanges heat with ambient air (and requires a backup for freezing temperatures), they use well water (open loop) or circulate fluid in a buried ground loop to exchange heat with the earth. Because the fluid has much denser BTU capacity and the earth is relatively constant temp year round, they can be more efficient than other systems.
I am especially looking for unexpected problems and ease of selecting a contractor
