I had read a popular science article (which I can no longer find) that explained new technologies have reduced the installation cost. They called the technology a "Geo Column" if my memory serves me correctly. The advantage is the tubing that would normally soak up all that garden/yard space is now condensed to a simple Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-1130737948640072922005-10-31T05:52:00.000+00:002005-10-31T05:52:00.000+00:00We thought of using a ground source heat pump in o...We thought of using a ground source heat pump in our new house, but it was too expensive for us. The person who bought a lot close to us is a civil engineer who says he spends most of his time ripping ground source heat pumps out of commercial buildings and replacing them with conventioanal heating equipment. Made me glad we didn't go with a ground source heat pump.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537863408606790468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-1130559505143283762005-10-29T05:18:00.000+01:002005-10-29T05:18:00.000+01:00I have a Geo Thermo Heat Pump and would not ever t...I have a Geo Thermo Heat Pump and would not ever think of going any other way since I installed it. Up front cost was a little more, but you can save lots by doing the work yourself. I had the system up and running for around $7500 by doing the work myself. I am heating a house with 2900 sqft main and basement in North Dakota and am very happy with the system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
