The Truth about Geothermal Heat Pumps 2024🔥🤔

If you're considering installing a geothermal heat pump, you should watch this first because there's several mistakes you don't want to make. The most important consideration when installing a geothermal system for your home is the design and installation. Poorly designed systems will have chronic issues and never work properly, and this comes down to geothermal loop design, and the proper type of geothermal system sizing.

A couple of things that might not have reached your side of the pond yet.
- Nibe have a "Ground Source" PV/T system, where the Solar Thermal collector can be used instead of or in addition to a ground loop with their ground source heat pumps.
- A German company (Fraunhofer) is further experimenting with hybrid ground+PV/T loop installations. Which will automatically use whichever loop is warmer (e.g. PV/T during the day, and the ground loop at night) for home heating, or whichever is cooler for cooling in summer. It also has some other benefits, e.g. the ground loop can melt snow off the PV/T array in winter, so snow coverage on solar panels is no longer an issue. It can also use the Solar Thermal to warm/recharge the ground in summer ready for winter, or to allow smaller boreholes. Who knows when that level of control becomes available though.

I truly appreciate your pragmatic approach to heating and cooling. I personally think that most of us in Colorado can get by with a hybrid system and cut our nat. Gas consumption by 60+ percent and still Make a huge difference in what we burn.

Only wish more contractors and HVAC specialists would offer these options and also be willing to retro an air source heat pump into existing furnaces when they are modern enough to makes sense to keep. I have a 95% Trane Furnace that’s been extremely reliable and I spoke to 3 HVAC companies who wouldn’t entertain replacing my compressor only for a heat pump. All wanted to toss the whole system.

We love our geothermal system that was installed in 2021.

Could you run several houses or building off a single geothermal well? Could you network several houses together to provide geothermal heating and cooling to each one as a separate unit and gain some cost savings?

[DaveDugdaleColorado]

The b-roll used for Nederland made me laugh.

[Danothebaldyheid]

Are there any hybrid air/ground source systems? It seems like your efficiency would only improve..

[DanOKC]

You didn't mention the type of soil Is Colorado mountain rock is good for Geo Wells? How about sandstone or lime stone? What is the best deep soil material for a GEO well?

[mohebalikalani]

Hello, thank you for your explanation, several countries in the world seasonal air temperature and water are above 35
degrees we can use this condition to produce electricity and fresh water other products that I mentioned my profile.

@TheHVACDopeShow Nice video. So how does zoning work with geothermal? I like my bedroom cold but my living room warm. Or let’s say I wanted to heat my pool while I am cooling my house in the hot summer of St. George. Thanks!

[cathyduce]

Suggest talking about use of radiant heat and cooling with hot and cold water from the heat pump. and extremes of heat and the need for cooling in summer : air to air/air or water heat pumps are inefficient over 100 F ....

[kob]

geography and cost and availability of energy is the determining factor.

[michaelomalley]

For those that are space rich....Can you speak to using coiled hdpe loops that are buried 10 feet down but run laterally? Are these systems cheaper to install?

[northernwiman.]

Explain how off grid locations are good for geothermal heat pumps. What’s producing the electricity to run the heat pump?

[jamesbailey]

I'm sure it addressed, . We are in Virginia does the 5' deep trench loop type system make $ sense? Tom

[zacharycampbell]

This might be a ridiculous question but why not build a giant box around your heat source heat pump condenser during the winter months? Aren't you fighting efficiency because the air is so cold?

[melnichols]

Can a R290 heat pump be used to replace an oil boiler in a hydronic system? When will R290 heat pumps be available?

[craigleventhal]

I live in Southern California, specifically Orange County, CA 92630; What companies out here install Geothermal Cooling and Heating Pumps?

[trumanhw]

Should've covered the cooling aspect also.

[Nkursk]

You just need the loops below the frost line dont need to be 300ft deep

Three years ago, we bought a house with geothermal Heat and Air Conditioning. The geo system was put in in 2004. It's now 2024 and we're told we need to replace the unit. Is it worth it to put replace the geo or put in electric or gas instead? It's been hard to find geothermal repair people and we finally found one that is in his 70's. He want $18, 000 to buy and install the system. Also, we have no idea the shape of the tubes going out to our pond. If that needs replacement, I'm guessing it'll be another $20, 000. He says it's under warranty for 10 years, but will he be around??? I asked a general contractor and he said that geos are obsolete because regular systems are just as efficient these days. Is that true? What would you do? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
