Geothermal systems: An old technology gets a second look

Feb 07, 6583 | Cons. The installation price of a home geothermal system can be several times that of an air-source system of the same heating and cooling capacity, depending on how much drilling you have to do to install the pipes underground. While initial costs can run into the tens of thousands, federal, state and local tax credits could help bring the price down to a manageable level.

A report issued in 2008 by the Indiana Office of Energy and Defense Development put the average cost of a new geothermal system at around $14,000, depending on size and location. Payback time can be as little as 10 years, taking into account your home’s insulation and other variables. Annual energy savings will vary based on what type of fuel you were using before and the local price of electricity, but the DOE says typically annual energy savings run between 30 percent and 60 percent.

Because of the cost of installation, geothermal systems may be more practical in new home construction because you’re already excavating for the foundation, plumbing and other major systems. Whether you’re building a new home or retrofitting an old one you’ll need the help of a professional. Both the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA), Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO) maintain lists of qualified installers. The Department of Energy has information on how to evaluate your site for a geothermal system.

Questions & Answers

Furnace Heat Exchanger Issues With Low Air Temperature?

Nov 09, 2007 by deezer
I have heard that there is a minimum temperature at which you should have your house in the winter to protect the heat exchanger on a high-efficiency furnace. I've heard stories of people going on vacation and leaving their thermostat temperature set to 45 degrees or something, and it does damage to the heat exchanger. Is this true, and if so, what is the recommended minimum temperature that I should set my thermostat to ?
I have installed and serviced many 90+ furnaces. It clearly states in the installation book you must have a min return air temperature of no less than 60 degrees for continuous running and 55 degrees for intermittent. Also you don't want the return air to be over 80 degrees. If the return air is too cold in a 90+ furnace the combustion air will condensate where its not suppose to, namely the unprotected first heat exchanger, and not just in the second, lined, heat exchanger. Which rots out the first heat exchanger. I would not set my stat lower than 60 just to be safe.
