Title: RE: Geothermal (off ET topic)

Hi all,

I know this is off topic, but had to comment. Keep in mind that a geothermal system uses the ground as both a heat source and a cold source; that is, it takes advantage of the ground's constant 50-55 degree temp. and pulls heat from it in winter, and pulls cold from it in summer. So, if you need A/C as well as heat, geothermal is an awfully nice, efficient way to go. As an added bonus, there's no racket from the outdoor heat exchanger. We've had geothermal for over 3 years now and really like it. Plus, if you were ambitious, you could use PV to further reduce operating costs, as the geothermal can be all electric (even the backup heat).

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Steve W.
