Just put ours in a few months ago and it's works great! We already had solar on the roof but in the NE you get snow that blocks the panels part of the time. We still saved quite a bit of money but wanted to go further and installed a geothermal system and both are really doing their jobs. It takes a short while to get used to the system, setting temps etc but with a smart thermostat it does the job rather quickly! We left our electric baseboard system in place just in case of some unforeseen issues but that is turned off. Our house is about 2700 sq ft and our first electric bill was 1/3 the normal cost! The incentives are pretty good and the overall cost was not much more than it would have cost us to replace our 20+ year old central AC system. The estimated return on investment is about 8 years but could be less.
Geothermal systems really do work now add a touch of solar energy with geothermal energy and zero out your energy costs for a much smaller investment than just using solar. I did and my 5,000sqft house with swimming pool and two hot tubs costs me less than $400 a year in all utility bills
I am currently learning about Geothermal Energy and other forms of rewneable energy in my renewable energy class in my twelfth grade at my high school and trust me, its awesome!
Would have been nice had the DOE ref'd the church specifics (and got the facts right). It is the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO. The narrator also screwed up on the ground loop, it is not a horizontal loop but is vertical (drilled); consists of 28 boreholes that are 400' deep under the parking lot. We did not have enough space for a horizontal or pit loop. System has been up and running since 2009 with very low utility bills. Major Geothermal designed it, Major Heating installed the mechanical system and designed the controls, and Major Geothermal did the functional testing.
@rabidbigdog Most manufacturers say that 1 in 28 new homes have these pumps. This is great progress, but it is not anywhere near close to the majority of the population. The 30 percent tax credits last only until 2016, so use them ASAP! The upfront cost is a big hurdle for most people. What if two or more neighbors shared the loop cost though? I think they could really reduce the upfront cost while getting one of the best energy efficient options.
This video mentioned how the ground has stable temperatures. It should have talked about that’s one reason houses should have basements. Even in areas with caliche it’s smart to have a basement. You get more footage, but half the house is blow ground. It naturally stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. I think it’s dumb so many homes and subdivisions just don’t even bother making basements.
I'm from Russia, a Siberian...I position myself as: INVENTOR!...My Know-how!, (a conveyor-type power take-off rotor) will allow you to receive energy from the flow of the river, the sea, without any special hydraulic structures.Without coal, gas... it seems that finally people are really concerned about the state of the planet!...But alas, this is only a drawing!, it's just for the "spite of the day" as soon as the end of the working day comes!...everyone immediately forgot about their "concern" ALL THIS IS JUST PRESTIGIOUS!

I like that you mention this, I am from the north West. Most houses in my area have basements. Move to the south, and 99% of homes don't. It's odd to me. Especially how they have all their heating and cooling in an un-insulated attic
This is a ground source heat pump not a 'geothermal heat pump'. Geothermal energy is from the earths core- i.e. volcanoes etc. Iceland uses lots of geothermal energy- because it can!
To be particular about it: Yes, it is formally called geothermal energy. But no, it's not really geothermal, but solar energy you use. With the ground as a heat storage. If the system would depend on the heat-replenishment from the interior of the earth, it would not work, because it's too less heat flow.
Have not read all comments but, confused as to why, at :25 to :27 seconds in, he states that the earths temp stays constant "below the frost line, about 10 FEET down.." Then, at :42 to :44 seconds in, he has you burying pipe, "just below the surface..." hmmm not sure how below the frost line went to just below the surface so quick but, that is a big mistake! Regardless, thank you for spreading the word about this great, clean form of energy production!!
HI! We just had ours installed and the frost line is about 4 feet. I had multiple discussions about this with the provider. They also can place insulation around the pipes if they need to come in less than that, for example your home's lowest level is less than 4 feet.
In some places its not uncommon to have partially underground homes, however it tends to be more expensive to build and you have higher risks of harmful gases leaking into hte home
0:58 what does he mean by " your normal heating system warms the air some more"? isnt ur heat pump ur heating system only? if anyone can clarify this pls
It's not going to heat your house all the way to a comfortable temperature. It's a supplement that significantly reduces how much your other heater (electric, natural gas, etc) has to work to maintain a warmer temperature.
If the air outside is negative 20 degrees, the water being circulated is at 58 degrees from bringing the heat from the ground (it stays constant, generally, year round) Your thermostat is likely 70 degrees. Now your heater only needs to warm from ~50 degrees to 70, rather than -20 to 70. Lmk if you need further explain
@@JK360noscope I don't think that's the case anymore. I think geothermal heat pumps can be stand alone systems, and a fuel/electric source can back up when it gets to below 0 temperatures. Heat pumps can now heat a house, stand alone, down to 0 degrees outside.
In what city do you live, so we know what climate you are in? And what style of system do you have--horizontal or vertical and buried at what depths? Thank you for the comment, Mr. Marlow. To anyone who posts later about their results of installing and using a geothermal system, please include the answers to my questions just asked.
Even with a ground loop geothermal heat pump setup, it is still cheaper to heat your house with natural gas. And on the cooling side it will save you about 30% per year (over your standard air source heat pump). Hard to shell out $30,000 for that. On new construction it is probably more economical. And geothermal heat pump systems would be great for off grid properties using solar and wind power. (Where no natural gas is available and you really need to decrease your KWH load for those days with no sun or wind.)

Not all areas can have basements. I'm too close to sea level for a basement. One good hurricane or tropical storm and your house becomes a boat, lol.
Very clear and revealing explanation of the workings of heat pumps.
This is a great way to reduce the need for gas

Yeah that threw my off at first, too. LOL
Why it's not building standard for new construction is beyond me.

why not build our houses into the ground?

I think you need to take some time and go to inplix website to learn how to make it.
the problem by the vertical loop systems is the constant temperature changes in underground, that can worsen the quality of groundwater!!
What if your ground water is 100ft plus?
How electricity does it pull.

My apologies 12 ft so this is average from like South Dakota down south to Chile
Im more insterested in summer to cool a green house.

Drill deeper, forgo the heat pump and cut the energy required to run it in half.
You are wrong my friend ; )
This is called low enthalpy geothermal energy, Máx temperatures are 30ºC
