it's not getting hot in here
We are going to need to replace our furnace soon and I am starting to research a more environmentally friendly method of heating. Does anyone have a geothermal heating system? Do you like it? All of my research so far makes it sound really good. Anyone out there with any experience with this type of heating I would love to hear from you.

we got a new gas furnace a couple of years ago. My DH was very interested in the geothermal concept, but we just don't have the space or enough cold weather to justify it! We do have solar electric panels though... (northern California!)
I love the idea of those coils in the floor... but alas we are in a condo. complex that uses a boiler.
We installed a new heat pump (we're total electric) when we built the new house. The electrician and H&A guys said we wouldn't live long enough to justify the $$ of the geothermal! Must be terribly expensive.
My sister in NH has gone totally green - solar plus some other "gadgets." I think they decided geothermal wouldn't work for them because the rock base was too thick. and would make it too expensive.

It was a good investment for them.
I found your blog a couple of night ago while surfing for quilting blogs. I just wanted to say that I love your site and your work is amazing. Best wishes for the spring. -Molly B
A good friend of mine has the geothermal heat and they love it!
