[RFI] Geothermal WaterFurnace 5 Series

[Clay Autery]

In GA, and likewise in LA, TX and the south in general, you want to 
install a COMBO system with a heat pump so you can heat OR cool...  
geothermal COOLING can save bunches in the deep South.
I have my plan all drawn out to lay in 10 foot deep trenches 3 foot wide 
and fill them with looped lines...  No need to drill vertical wells 
since I have the square footage to accommodate trenches.  I DO believe 
many geothermal setups use variable speed drives, but you CAN  mitigate 
them or choose alternatives.  Just waiting for my current HVAC to become 
uneconomically repairable....  I've repaired it myself several times.... 
It just keeps on going.

Do you have to cool much at all where you are in MI?  I'm guessing not...

73,
