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.
