Yea, I was just asked this by a forum member, ol good buddy haha
But that stirred my soul a little
Why didn't I?
That could get deep with someone as crazy about this as me
First of all, burning wood is something I feel a deep bond, an internal emotion that must come down from previous generations. It just makes my soul feel good
Second through eternity ------- well, geothermal is highly over rated imo. My parents have geothermal on a 1400 Sq ft home that's top quality insulated, still electric bills are over 300. If my dad's health stays in right direction he will have an own soon, damn cancer
Also, geothermal is often a 20,000 dollar investment on a 2500 Sq ft home. So to spend 20k on something that will take my heating bill from 500 to 550 down to 350-450 doesn't make a helluva lotta sense.
how about the fact you are still tied to the system? ? Yea you are a little more efficient but electric rates are going one way! UP!!
Also consider the expected life span of the compressor and such on a geo unit? Maybe 9-11 years, then you'll have to upgrade the whole darn thing because it's outdated by then. My dad's complete geo system duct work and all was 7500 15 years ago, a few years ago a compressor went out and that piece alone was more than his entire system, let's call it green gouging
hoe about the quality of the heat or the warmth factor?? Yes the house says it's 72, but it don't feel warm, it just feels like there is a weird air movement in the house. Not a very "homey" feel if you ask me
Yes, I could go on all night, cutting wood, storing it, burning it, it makes me happy. To know my utility bills went from 550 years ago down to 80-100 now, "not counting solar" is an added bonus, the comfort and peace of mind is huge!
Geothermal is a good ac, but there are new designs of ac out on the market now that are even more efficient
