Cost me 50k before fed rebate. Drilled straight down, used a no water system with copper piping, gives much higher heat temps, 155 out of the vent instead of 115 with water in plastic piping.
No, my electricity is free now so electric water heating is too. This is the system
The higher temp output is what really sold me on it though. Had a heat pump decades ago and hated the feel of what felt like cold air blowing on me all winter. This thing may as well be gas.
I would like to thank all of you federal tax payers for the free heat and electricity I now enjoy. When I put the batteries in it will only have cost you around 50k. Hmm, my ice make on my old fridge just went out, wonder if the feds will chip in on a new sub zero?
Pretty sure they arenāt allowed to use it in Air Conditioners or above ground heat pumps because of the ozone but I guess since it is buried that isnāt a problem.
So you didnāt even flinch at the āproduces four to five times more energy than it consumesā? Hell, thatās much better than a perpetual motion machineā¦
The non-intuitive feature of a heat pump is that it can generate more thermal energy for heating (or cooling) a home than it consumes. A typical geothermal heat pump can produce between 3-6 kilowatts of thermal energy for every 1 kilowatt of energy that they consume. This is dramatically different from a furnace, which has a maximum efficiency of less than 100%. How do heat pumps perform such apparent magic? Heat pumps move heat that would otherwise not be used from one location (the ground) to another (your home). Moving heat from one place to another requires fewer energy inputs than creating it.
JāBiden has been using the SOR as a piggy bank manipulating the oil market. One might suspect the debacle a Middle East all out breakout war is by clumsy design to drive consumers to realize gasoline is too expensive because it will be, and turn to the prog driven green Chinese battery powered cars.
Just a thought.
