  • Drill deeper, forgo the heat pump and cut the energy required to run it in half.

  • This video is a favorite on Vaduz

  • Should be great to have larger Department of Energy whoever needs a job can get one for better future and also think of future of energy, even better for reserach on nanotechnology

  • Geothermal systems really do work now add a touch of solar energy with geothermal energy and zero out your energy costs for a much smaller investment than just using solar. I did and my 5,000sqft house with swimming pool and two hot tubs costs me less than $400 a year in all utility bills

  • Why aren't they mandatory for new construction or at the time of sale?

  • @rabidbigdog Most manufacturers say that 1 in 28 new homes have these pumps. This is great progress, but it is not anywhere near close to the majority of the population. The 30 percent tax credits last only until 2016, so use them ASAP! The upfront cost is a big hurdle for most people. What if two or more neighbors shared the loop cost though? I think they could really reduce the upfront cost while getting one of the best energy efficient options.
