[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 911134, member: 8840"] Jim said :"Geothermal is not something you want to get into unless you are planning to stay in one house for some time. But it is remarkable in how it can provide both heating and cooling for very little cost once you get it installed. Payback period is not real long but it is not cheap to put in. Good things are seldom "cheap" initially." Last fall i almost pulled the trigger on a 18k geothermal system. It was designed to run the piping in my pond behind the house as the heat source. With the state and federal tax credits it was about a wash with regular heat pump system here. It also could assist in hot water production in the summer. The only problem i had was that i had to upfront all the cost and get the state credit back over a several years. I was also worried about maint. issues since water source geo is pretty new around here. But of the alternative power stuff geothermal has some potential i think. [/QUOTE]
