I've had geo for over 10 years in my house there are a few things to consider: First of all you need 500' of pipe underground per ton of heating/cooling weather it is spiraled or straight, I don't know about other areas but my zone in SW Ohio the piping only needs to be 4' deep I'm guessing the frost line. Winter in the nortern areas maybe iffy because it relies a lot on backup heat in extreme cold weather I have 30KW electric heaters as backup but I've added a propane fireplace to augment that. Geo is not a power saver by any means for heat unless you can get a special rate from the power compnay which I have right now but can change anytime. Works well in late fall and early spring but winter is a bust the payback is extreme hot weather when the wet bulb is high and the system can send the heat to a cool place. I would make changes if I do it again but am working with a firm to correct some short comings coupled with a windmill but that is a long way off. In summary it is great if the world keeps heating up but is not so efficient in cold weather areas in the winter. My biggest problem is the reliability of the recirc pumps for the glycol I've lost 4 in the last 10 years at close to $200 ea.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
