  • The manifolds were located in the mechancal room and no connections were needed below grade. If a weld was to fail it is easy to fix when easily accessable.

  • Since this vid was made there are now DIY kits for Geo heating/cooling. I am thinking about going with Geo. Please tell me...How comfortable is the heating and cooling? I live in South Carolina and I think the enviro would be perfect for this type of system.

  • Im going to school to b a HVAC TECH heat pumps installation is 1 of my classes.

  • how much did the whole geothermal cost total?

  • @ponyryan .

    one of the reasons PE pipe is used is that there are no joints and if joints are required then its fusion welded which is a much better joint than anything you could do on copper if your going to bury it. also copper will corrode after quite a short time where as PE will last 100 years or more.......and then theres the cost of copper !!

  • I hope that home is a place that does not get very hot or very cold for long, with 600 ft or even 1800ft of pipe that system is good for maybe 2 tons at best. Oh wait that must be why they added the water from the well so they could keep it wet, lots of water from the well will work but, that will cost you.

  • did somebody say Westinghouse??

  • i have read that sand is one of the worst soils to use for conduction and heavy clay work a lot better. 

  • Cost: about $2,500 per ton. a three-ton unit costing roughly $7,500. drilling can run anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000, or more depending on the terrain and other local factors.

    Next there'll be a new technology getting heat from drilling close to the volcano, but not enough for it to erupt.

  • Great job.

  • excellent vid. thanks for posting!
