Geothermal owner review

Part 1: Geothermal owner review
Part 1 of my review of our experience with geothermal heating and cooling. In this part I give details about my buying experience, cost, operational savings and general thoughts. We've had our geothermal since August 2006. It's great. This is not intended to be a commercial. I couldn't find any youtube posts of geothermal owners. I only found commercials.

noclouds111 - Awesome! Those are great incentives. The incentives are much nicer nowadays than in 2006. $30k cars will never make an owner money but a ground-source heat pump will! Surprising geothermal hasn't caught on more.

Thanks for the review!We are currently considering this system here in Canada and your review(might be the only"review" on youtube lol) extremely informative.

As a comparison to your install, ours was $28k before deductions of 30 percent Fed tax break right off the top, & also a 2k per ton (3 ton unit) break from state of CT, & $1500 from the elec company. Added up, the deal was a no-brainer. While the Geo unit is 'green', it does suck up quite a bit of electricity...which is created by burning fossil fuels. In any event, our installer said, 'you're gonna love it!' And, he was right!

Thanks again for your review!

Good review. In Aug 2010, we retrofitted our 1550 sq ft home for Geo (with ductwork), & a solar-electric system. On very cold days, we use over 50kw/day, thermostat set at 70 deg. Although the monthly elec bill on the coldest months is over $200, the cost of oil is at $3.40. We can already project that our Geo unit will be the clear winner after a year, and this includes heat, hot water, & cooling. We can't wait to experience the cooling aspect of this unit. continued....PT2
