GEOTHERMAL HEAT/AC

[Chevy454]

While we don't get *quite* the cold temps as you, we do see zero and below every winter, and last I knew, in the 10+ years Mo said he'd owned his, his auxillary heat had *yet* to kick on...I know when we had our stretches of zeros and low-singles this past winter, our backup (heat strips) never kicked on, and my wife kept it cranked up to *at least* 72, and some days better...the strips on the heat pump @ shop, on the other hand, *did* eat some juice, though...btw, our lines are layed out laterally, versus in wells.

For 45k or 80k, I'd dig mine up with a shovel, and haul it to you and install it! LOL!!

[/ QUOTE ] You may laugh, but it may make sense to hire someone in Missouri or somewhere else to install it . These people is CT dont like to get out of bed unless they can make 500.00 an hour

Yep Geo is the way to go. I have 2-6 ton units in the bowling center. Units and ducting cost 20k 4 years ago. We have our own backhoe and done all our own digging. The trick on Geo is dig it deep. Most installers want to put them in at 5 or 6 foot. My house and bowling center are both in at over 9 ft. My house heats or cools for a dollar a day.
We run 32 elect. motors 1/2 hp or bigger, 1 35 hp 3 phase inverter,17 tv screens, 8 video games and 25 8 ft flor. lights along with the 2 6 ton units. Highest bill ever 298 dollars.
