  • @vuetube It costs a heck of a lot less to rent an excavator for a day than using trenchless technology.

  • #1...I live near an ethanol plant and it stinks, I,m sure the smoke stack coming from this type of operation is not the greatest over long term unless u can prove me wrong...secondly, according to this video i see a lot of disruption to land being cleared, ie trees removed, in order 4 polyethylene piping to b stuck in the ground, I think its simpler just to install solar panels on top of your house and leave the surrounding greenlands alone

  • Damage to the environment? Removing oil, gas and propane furnaces and replacing them with a renewable energy. How is this damaging to the environment? Solar is great unless it's powering the fan motor on an old oil furnace. Please explain your logic.

  • hmm prefer solar power less damage to the enviornment

  • in sweden this is old news..almost all houses have it!

  • Why are they EXCAVATING the whole site when they've had trenching/laying technology for decades? They could lay this tubing in a trench like they do fiber optic. Oops, I just gave away a Million dollar idea...

  • interesting, but i can't believe people are still promoting slinky loops: there is a maximum tubing spacing density for the amount of available heat in the ground. overlapping the pipe in such a way exceeds that and only lessens the heat pumps efficiency. straight pipe runs are the only way to go.

  • I came darn close to putting in a ground based heat pumb in my last home - went conventional heat pump instead but still and still kick myself for not goig ground based - another 30%+ improvement in efficiency.
