Does anyone know if this method of heating work well, of is it just another "pipe dream" if so please let me know?

I have friends with a geothermal heat pump system they like very much for their vacation home, as they aren't there all the time. They use a pellet stove when they stay.

So long as the system is installed perfectly, a geothermal heat pump system can cut electric bills to 1/4 the bill they would get with electric baseboard heat.

The downside is that it is easy to 'get it wrong' on installation to become a nightmare, as it takes not only HVAC skills, but good well technology and plumbing skills all coordinated. If the extra thousands of dollars over a conventional heating system won't bother you, then paying big bucks for repairs won't either.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
