Hello,

Does anyone here have any experience of using geothermal heat pumps to get hot water and heat home in winter and use the same geothermal loop to cool through HVAC in summer?

We have a WaterFurnace geothermal system. Love it. Was expensive to have installed (drilling rig in our yard for a couple days drilling deep holes for the piping was the biggest expense), but after several years of use now, totally worth it.

Out of curiosity, do you know how deep your bore ended up being?

2 holes, 400' each.

The apostrophe is feet, right? That's shallower than I thought.
