NJ Install WaterFurnace Geothermal heating cooling PART 3

Visit NJRenewableEnergy.com Global Warming, Peak oil (in connection with war for oil) and the Economy. I am extremely concerned about these issues and I truly believe that our only chance in solving all four is through conservation and clean renewable energy. We as individuals must act now. I have decided as an average citizen to change my own habits and behavior to become apart of the solution and I'm hoping to convince my friends and neighbors to do the same. All of these issues revolve around one problem, our addiction to oil and other fossil fuels. With what I believe is a grass roots movement around the world, I have just begun the systematic process and modification of my home with the idea of conservation and the "soon to be added" production of renewable energy. I hope to be apart of a movement that helps our nation and the world become self reliant in order to save our planet. It is my belief that "we" as Americans can each do our part as individuals with the combined effort to make real change. We do need government help, however it can start in every home in America with the idea of reducing our carbon foot print in an attempt to reduce our effect on the planet as well as our dependency on foreign and domestic oil. We as a nation must lead the world in renewable energy. It will provide our nation with power, stability and a planet that can sustain life.

If you live in NJ or PA it costs east I can help.

I am preparing myself to construct a house and this video has made me to decide to make geothermal. Thanks!

I tried in geothermal systems DX. Which are your thoughts on this?

Hey, I noticed you lived in the city. I don’t have acres and acres, but do have space between neighbors houses. They have drilling rigs that can do it. Check out DX ( Dirext eXchange) Geothermal systems. It seems to be a newer and more effecient geothermal route, because they use copper tubing, thereby needed less space to drill.

Thanks for the post, very informative.

I’d spend the extra money on improving your homes air leakage and insulation rather then over sizing it. Check out my new youtube video called “Weatherization of a home in NJ”

Aux heating is installed in locations where the temperatures can get colder then the systems “sweet spot” configuration. What I mean by sweet spot is that any geo system should be sized properly, so that its not under or over sized. For example you could spend 1000′s of dollars more and put more pipe in the ground to compensate for colder temperatures, however its more cost effective to pay a little extra for aux heat 1% of the time then to overspend on a loop and not need it 99%. . . . . . . . . . . .

First of all, the system is far more efficient during cooling than heating. So assuming your home doesn’t have some catastrophic insulating issue, it will have no problem cooling at 95-100. Actually, that is why your paying the extra money for geothermal. Your heat exchange medium is the ground, not the air (like a standard a/c condensing unit). So your not fighting the 100 degree temps as much as a conventional system would. As far as auxiliary heating. . . . .

Thanks, I too have a cape cod, but built 1964. Good to know it works magnificently, even with ductwork closer to the floor. I see new legislation allows for 30% of the installation to be deducted on taxes. I’ve scheduled for Water Furnace to give me an estimate.
How has the cooling worked when the temp outside reached 95-100?
I’ve seen some have a back up sytem to supply added heat. Does this mean that this system isn’t good for people who like 75+ interior heating?

In a perfect world, having heat distributed via radiant flooring and cooling via duct work at ceiling level would be the best case scenario. However, using your existing system would be more than adequate. As a matter of fact, I have the exact same situation as you do in my 1955 cape cod style home. The system performs magnificently. As for the cooling method. It does take the heat from the home and exchanges it with the ground. It works just like your refrigerator does with air exchange.

Thanks alot for this informative video. I used to do plumbing, and have installed a gas forced air furnace myself. I have existing ductwork, yet the air outlets are under windows. From what I know, heat outlets should be located closer to the floor, and cooling outlets closer to the ceiling.
With the nature of this geo. system, does that even matter? Just learning about it, and it seems it cools by taking heat out of the home. I’ll check that website, but I live near J. F. K. airport.

great video! I am constructing to a new house and plan of geothermal heat pumps. 5.200 sf Also I have moved an old house sf 1200 and l' addition of a GHP plan. I have also a building of 3.000 sf industial I have in program l' addition of a GHP. Proprietà of the door next it has had to put in a wall of 250 feet beside mine proprietà they to me have allowed to put the foot on mine proprietà and I have fallen in 500 ' ring beside the control wall.
