Heat Pump Reviews
Geothermal heat pumps work under the same principles as a refrigerator. Temperatures of dirt/earth are very stable once you go down a couple of feet, always cool in the summer and warm in the winter, just the first few feet get affected by surface temperature. During winter months you collect this heat and move it into your home. During the summer months you cool your pipes and then cool your home. It’s a pretty neat system once you have it in. There is very little maintenance and the system runs very quiet. These system have a decent up front cost to get installed with usually payback periods ranging from 10-15 years. Depending on your situation the costs will vary.
Some questions that need to be answered before you can get started will be,
How many square feet do you plan on heating/cooling?
What temperature do you want to heat or cool this space to?
What is your current cooling/heating source?
How much do you pay per month and maintenance for your current system?
How much loss does your current system have?

to organize. I will really appreciate any input from people who own geo thermal heat systems.

Stay tuned with more coming. This will include major heat pump manufactures and model reviews, tax information, installing geothermal heat pump systems, maintanence, ratings, payback periods and many more topics.
