Looking into Geothermal units for my home in Ohio. House has an open floorplan with high cathedral ceilings (20ft) in lower story. About
2700 sqare feet. I currently have a propane furnace and water heater. I've used 1500-1600 gallons a year for the last 4 years I have kept track. Propane was $1.79 last year, this year it's $2.69 on prepay. That means I'll average $350 a month, ALL 12 MONTHS, EVEN in the summer, just to heat home and water. That's not even considering my AC runs from May-September due to allergies. I haven't even examined those costs. I've been reading alot of bad stuff about water furnace brand, yet have several coworkers who have switched recently and love them. None of them have had their units over 3 years though. Considering a closed loop. Also considering in floor circulating heat in my sunken living room floor which is currently carpet over concrete. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Dano.- posted
