Geothermal at Home - What you might not know

If you aren't already thinking about installing a geothermal system, this might draw your attention. If you are already planning on getting ground-source heating and cooling for your new home or retrofit and have a hard time finding valuable and reliable information on the large variety of heat pump systems, this might help. We'll explore the controversy between the plumber, the driller, and the heat pump systems expert regarding the sizing and system type. Is a single stage, dual stage, or variable speed system best? What would Dennis have done differently? I'm hoping you can avoid a lot of research and take away the key lessons on solar-powered geothermal systems / vertical ground-source heating and cooling in new residential buildings.
