Install of a waterfurnace geothermal system

Global Warming, Peak oil (in connection with war for oil) and the Economy.

I am extremely concerned about these issues and I truly believe that our only chance in solving all four is through conservation and clean renewable energy. We as individuals must act now. I have decided as an average citizen to change my own habits and behavior to become apart of the solution and I'm hoping to convince my friends and neighbors to do the same. All of these issues revolve around one problem, our addiction to oil and other fossil fuels. With what I believe is a grass roots movement around the world, I have just begun the systematic process and modification of my home with the idea of conservation and the "soon to be added" production of renewable energy. I hope to be apart of a movement that helps our nation and the world become self reliant in order to save our planet. It is my belief that "we" as Americans can each do our part as individuals with the combined effort to make real change. We do need government help, however it can start in every home in America with the idea of reducing our carbon foot print in an attempt to reduce our effect on the planet as well as our dependency on foreign and domestic oil. We as a nation must lead the world in renewable energy. It will provide our nation with power, stability and a planet that can sustain life.

You would think the supply transition at the air handler would be bigger to dampen the sound. But he did say you can hardly hear it

This is a retrofit, otherwise you would install larger duct work. As you mention, the larger the duct work the quieter the system.

Do the extra (2) pipe connections on top of the water heater go to a seperate coil inside the tank, or does it circulate potable water?

[the43k]

its potable water.... It circulates from the desuperheater into the tank. Its domestic water not a closed loop.

[Magnageek]

Thank you. I'm wondering, though, why it needs an extra set of pipes. Why not use an ordinary water heater with a tee connection at the inlet and, say, the drain valve.

Great video, by the way!

[the43k]

You are correct, you could. However, it functions more efficiently, with larger pipe connections. I also wanted to convert to electric since I'm going to produce my own PV Solar. It also places the hot water at the top, my understanding is this works better since the HWH'ers element is towards the bottom.

So you replaced the geothermal hot water tank with a solarthermal hot water tank.

1. What was the problem with the geothermal hot water tank?

2. Why did the geothermal hot water tank have to be replaced?

3. Is the solarthermal hot water tank more efficient than the geothermal hot water tank?

4. What are the price differences?

5. Can you post a video answering these questions and explaining so those of us considering installing a system can benefit from the answers?

@MrFrozenCanuck

Supposedly that's it.  No DeSuperheater+no buffer tank+no new electric water heater.

2200 sq ft in southern New Mexico.

I just found out on the BBB site, this contractor has a suspended license.

I'm going to have to find someone else.

[MrFrozenCanuck]

So, 30 grand if there are no added costs for things the contractor couldn't see?

Is your house large?
