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. ProprietÃ of the door next it has had to put in a wall of 250 feet beside mine proprietÃ they to me have allowed to put the foot on mine proprietÃ and I have fallen in 500 ' ring beside the control wall.

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.

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, 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?

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. . . . .

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%. . . . . . . . . . . .

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”

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.

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

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

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