My Geothermal Waterfurnace - Strategies4Survival

Installing a geothermal waterfurnace can help prevent global warming. Using the system for all of our heating and cooling, as well as much of our hot water, has cut our CO2 emissions the equivalent of taking two cars off the road forever. This film explains how the system works and shows what it takes to install. A film by Bonnie Bucqueroux for Strategies4Survival.com. Original tambura music by Drew Howard. Waterfurnace installation by S & J Heating of DeWitt, Michigan.

Thanks for helping us get an idea on the pricing! One question - would it be possible to split the costs (since I'm guessing much of it comes from the digging) to share a trench with a neighbor? By buddying up - wouldn't that make it easier for all of us to jump on this?

Good question. I imagine the question is how to write a contract with your neighbor on shared costs for installation and maintenance. I will await word from those in the business about how feasible this might be in certain places. I could see contractors wanting to use this option when they put in a new subdivision.

it is good to use that system but you need to stop worrying about co2 as it is a good plant food and only an effect of temp not a driver

Just got my water furnace installed. Don't care about global warming because that is just plain bullshit! I just want to save money! So far I don't need it. Cannot wait for winter. Thanks for the video.

i will be building a geo thermal heating system in ghana.africa to make use of the hot summer days all year long thanks for the video.

Now, that post may trick you into thinking I'm against geotherm, solar and wind. I'm not. Not as long as they're more efficient, which geotherm already is. I just don't believe the citizenry should be stampeded into massive carbon taxes, mandatory massive shifts in industry and gub'ment control of every part of our lives. Each person should be free to choose the right tech for him-or her-self. I would choose this for my home, but not because you're spewing CO2. Get a grip, get some perspective

Doomed... DOOMED, I tellya! hahaha - flat earthers. riddle me this, meathead: if CO2 is the polluting greenhouse gas, and it's going to doom the planet, why don't you do your part and quit breathing? What you expel from your lungs is mostly CO2, right? Don't worry about the plant life that thrives on CO2, or the fact that that charming graph that AlGore showed in his fictional film actually SHOWS that CO2 rise FOLLOWED temp rise... ever heard of cause and effect? How many effects precede cause?

actually you are creating about 20% of the heat through heat of compression and the other approx 80% heat of absorbtion. still a very efficient system, look out for rogue plumbers installing and starting geothermal systems as this is a refrigeration technicians domain. it is imparitive that the installer have some knowledge of heat transfer above and beyond common sense

Hi,

Very well video. I'm looking forward to install this system in my new house in 2 years from now.

I'm fed out paying large gas bills and I don't understand why gouberments don't dig into these renewal systems more.

hippy

[DULDEN85]

so hard to come by in the US though, some of the buderus oils are up to 98% efficient....gotta check and see if they are in this area...ty for that

Thanks for the video and sharing your story. I think this kind of project will help everyone who is open to change and can think independently. Forget some of the negative comments about being far to the left. Basically its your money, land and time.

If some of these flat earthers want to take pot shots at this then it shows how ignorant they are and if we follow their lead then we are all doomed.
