I had my geothermal system installed Oct 2017.What my system does is heat and cool my house. I had baseboard electric and no cooling brfore so the cooling is new. I also added the April Air humidification system. Together they provide a year round comfortable environment.Inaddition, a 50 gal water tank was added that the geo system perhaps the water to 95 degrees. This sent to the existing hot water system to complete heating to household hot water setting.I looked at the12 months electric usage prior to placing the geo system in service and the 12 months after. My electric usage was reduced 34% and my bill dropped 32%.The winter of 2017/18 had a very long cold snap. Temprature was minus9 or lower for several days. The system did use auxiliary heat but the house stayed at the set temperature. The above savings were calculated with this abnormal cold snap.Installation had minimal impact on my property. They dug a hole about 5ft high, 5ft long, and 5ft deep. Installed the loops and refilled. The system in my basement is the size of a normal gas heating system.The people involved were polite and efficient. Any questions we have had were promptly answered and usually over the phone.If I ever move I will have a system installed there. It was one of my best decisions ever.
