[QUOTE="erobz, post: 6849570, member: 700856"] I started thinking about all the computational time, labor, material, and I suspect the initial cost of this system might have a 20 yr payback. Not to mention it's a potential maintenance nightmare. It [I]seems[/I] like free energy but at what initial cost and annualized cost? A friend had a geothermal system for their home, relatively new build. It sprung a leak somewhere in the ground coil. The general consensus among contractors...the system is a complete loss...get yourself a gas furnace. Have you considered an electric emersion heater with a small circulation pump? [/QUOTE]
