If you donā€™t mind, what did that run you? Did you trench all the way around the house? Or do they just do wone deep pit?

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.

Is this the model that captures hot water for the house in the process?

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?

No water? How does that work?

Freon.

very coolā€¦or hot I guessā€¦

Pretty sure they arenā€™t allowed to use it in Air Conditioners or above ground heat pumps because of the ozone but I guess since it is buried that isnā€™t a problem.

So you didnā€™t even flinch at the ā€œproduces four to five times more energy than it consumesā€? Hell, thatā€™s much better than a perpetual motion machineā€¦

Not really, you arenā€™t counting the energy transferred from the ground.

From What are Geothermal Heat Pumps and How do they Work? - Furnace Compare

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.

Right, so itā€™s not ā€œproducingā€ it, itā€™s transferring it.

Weak.

Jā€™Biden 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.

Making energy available for work often called production.

Oil production

Produces 500 horsepower

Way to much leftist and RINO lies and hidden agendas. What a disgrace.

Arguing about it just feeds the beast
