Geothermal Heating

He isn't correct about this system being 100% non polluting, since you still need to use electricity to operate the system. unless you are using solar panels or something similar, you are still polluting, just not as much, not saying this is bad, its very good compared to traditional heating, just saying its not 100% non polluting.

Geothermal is the most efficient way to heat and cool your home. Everyone should educate themselves about geothermal systems and consider installing one.

Solar and geothermal, come on folks support whole heartily the efforts to bring solar into wevery neighborhood. My house is 15 years old, rural sub locale, to many pipes and wires surround the house. Tight wrap, high energy costs that are indeed rising , pray more this Winter,,we will need more than El Nino to keep the fires lit in Wisconsin. Burn wood, corn or mixed combines of both...put a dent in the Power Grid monopoly any way you can....Eat cheese stay warm.

Ground source heat piping has good future potential. Different areas over the globe are better than others and there is a lot of research going into it, especially in Iceland for energy production. It is a great environmentally friendly replacement for air conditioning. The problem is, who owns the heat underground? nobody? = conflict!

solar panels haha

No fossil fuels used? Where does the power to run the circulation pump come from? Good video. Going to build a new house this summer so I am looking into my options. Thank you for posting this vid.

i think that this is a very good intro to geothermal energy but just because it seems to be 100% non polluting, doesnt mean it is. what i mean is that you have to look at the entire situation; the products used to make the pipes, the way they are installed, are there big trucks burning diesel fuel?

i dont know... just something to think about...

I've had a ground source system since August 2006. My house has about 2000 sqft of climatized space. I have paid $75/mo for electricity on average over the past 16 months. That includes hvac, cooking, lights and hot water. My power company charges $0.046 per kwh which is very cheap. Our rates just went up this month. I should still be paying less than $100 on average. This system is the future. It's expensive at first but the payback is short with today's fuel prices.
