The H/C contractor was just out here in preparation for a quoting a geothermal system for our home.
We are talking pond loops rather than ground loops. Our soil below the frost line isn’t soil, it is sand and gravel. The contractor said that sand and gravel isn’t very efficient for ground loops and that pond loops would be the way to go for our location.
There a several reasons that we are a considering a geothermal system at this point in time.
* Tax credits * Electric Coop credits * Current H/C system is near the age of replacement. * The cost of LPG is outrageous when you heat at least some of 7 months of year. * Gail likes backhoe trenches in the back yard.
I think it will be a no-brainer for us with payback in 3-4 years. The quote will tell the story.
