Geothermal Heating Solutions

A good efforts to educate the geothermal technology.can any one tell me the yellowpages website for hvac?

[hermancando]

cant even here you man speak louder

Here in the Northeast where electricity sells for $0.14 per kWh and natural gas is only $0.78 per therm, a 95% efficient condensing gas furnace actually costs 30% less to run than a 300% efficient geo heat pump powered by electricity.

we got NO ROOM ! FOR IT

[rvbarnesboy]

I have it. I love it. for cold places it's ideal. beautiful technology and no more fossil fuels. hhhmmm.

emancipation, anyone?

Geothermal has recently been found to be less expensive than even solar and wind power. This is the technology of the future. With the tax credits and energy savings, they are getting more and more affordable.

The terms "geothermal" and water "furnace" are misnomers! What these units function as is better called "Thermal Exchangers". In winter heating they "collect" stored (mostly) solar heat from warmer underground which they thermally exchange and in summer they reverse their "exchanger" operation and thus "dissipate" excess solar heat collected inside the house to the cooler underground. The term geothermal refers to "hot spring" volcanic heat from beneath the earth's mantle - not this!

Spread the word....Geothermal is beautiful and should be the NEXT BIG THING. most people still know little about it. We love our system. So quiet and constant...you never "feel" it. It's just right all the time.

If anyone is looking for the new tax incentives or your local state incentives I have posted it on our web sight. We do geothermal nation wide. Please feel free to visit us for more info @ Indygeothermalpros

There is a 30% Tax Credit with NO CAP right now.

The issue here is stored heat sinking - the earth is a huge STABLE stored solar energy heat sink! The city water supply to your home buried under the frost line never ever freezes and fish in the lake never become frozen food in the depths of winter -the solar-heated earth is a stable heater! When you run a fuel furnace/water heater you get 60-90% efficiency blowing heat out a chimney or hot air out into your garden in the summer. A heat pump collects free cooling or free heat from underground!

What I am saying below is that the heat pump would freeze your hot water tank - unless it was huge and could maintain such a "vacation" temperature at all! Deep below the local "frost line" the earth itself never freezes - since the gigantic continental water table contains both stored solar heat replenished daily, and geothermal heat - yet it is also still much cooler than the outdoors get in summer! It is an excellent and near-perfect energy store and energy dissipation "thermal moderator".

Geothermal energy is the vest way to heat and cool your home. Everyone should have a geothermal system installed.

Smart video. Thank you for the help getting out the word on geothermal heating & cooling.
