Anyone have experience with geothermal heating?

I have sold hoses to a company in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Maybe they can help you.

To do this you need to live somehwere like Iceland for what you are talking about. Actually Klamath Falls, Oregon has a lot geothermal heat in use. They heat the sidewalks to keep the snow melted.

Appleseed, with the method you are talking about we now have 3 methods of heat being discussed in this thread:

-Geothermal heat pumps: Using a heat pump with groundwater as the energy transfer source instead of air.

-Outdoor wood stoves: A boiler system that burns wood to heat water which is then circulated through radiators in your house.

-Groundwater circulation heat: Pumping water out of the ground and using with no temperature modification as a heat source through radiators in houses, loops under sidewalks, etc...

Geothermal canoes!

How do these people find us?

Google. It's a cool thread though - I missed it the first time.

Ditto.
