s previously stated in a round about way .An air source heat pump is useless when air temps are below freezing.Closed loop ground source tend to fail about mid winter as most people undersize the underground pipe bed. Well water ground source work best if good flow of low mineral water is on tap(quoted from post at 23:33:42 01/17/12) When heat pumps first cane out 25 or so years ago they were deemed to be the best thing since sliced bread. You never hear anything about them anymore.
Anybody have any experience with heat pumps? I get the feeling they are expensive to operate.
Thanks,
Bill.
Dave, You must have gotten quotes on shallow geothermal as opposed to deep well. I have been wondering if someone had access to a good sized hoe and could do the excavation himself for tubing laid out say, twenty feet down that it should be a lot less expensive than with drilled wells.(quoted from post at 04:22:51 01/18/12) I'm buildin a new house right now and it was a decsion between Geothermal and conventional (propane force air). The first bids on geothermal were over 20K more then conventional. But after allowing the companies to suffer through a year of bad economy and realigning the system the bids came within a couple of K. The backup is electrical however the install allows room for installing propane in the event backup kicks in very often.
I am led to believe that with geothermal backup doesn't come till down around 0.
