I was interested for the rumored efficiency and reduction in carbon footprint. I have enough yard for the wells, but would definitely have to take down/rebuild some fence to let the equipment through. If the 15-20 SEER heat pumps are now able to heat through a VA winter without needing the auxiliary heat, I think they’ll be a significant enough improvement from our 25 year old AC and gas boiler system that I’ll see the reduced install cost as a win.

Thanks. I’ll probably have GreenAir work up a quote, though the other comments in the thread suggest it’s going to be even more expensive than I anticipated by a large margin.

Wow. Thanks for all this info. I wasn’t aware that modern heat pumps had become efficient enough to compete with geothermal operating costs.

Nice! Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that. The GSDs ability to carry me, my wife, and our kid is what has led me to focus on it. I’ll have to see what the carrying capacity is for the Xtracycles.

Also, anyone have a Tern GSD? I think it’s our next bike, but I’d like to test drive one before buying.

Anybody got a RadWagon? They sent me a repair kit in the mail (tires, tubes, rim strips), but I don't have the bike anymore. Free to a good home.
