I was watching the Dirty Jobs show with Mike Rowe the other day.
He was helping well drillers sink wells for a heat pump system for
something like an old folks home.
It occurred to me that I haven't heard of any for plain houses. Too
expensive?
By the way he can sing.

I've been to a house in Dover, Del. with geothermal heating and cooling.
Not a cheap h ouse but no mansion either. T hey seem to have removed
two new AC compressors in the process of installing the geothermal.


IIt is likely thqt the compressor characteristics would be different.
Certainly, temps are different than air source.
