Barefoot this winter thanks to geo heat pump

I have to say, if you have to live with a cold winter, radiant floor heating is the way to go.

  • That is understating it by a mile.

In fact, after nearly two decades of living up here, this winter was bliss. And that all thanks to the geothermal heat pump we have in our new house. Prior to us building our new home, heating always came from a gas furnace. But the gas furnace dying and us wanting to build a house happened at just the same time. That’s how we were able to afford having a geothermal heat pump in our new place. We shelled out a bit more than we wanted to upgrade the residential HVAC in our old house. But the realtor assured us that we’d be happy with the outcome because of the value it would add to our home. He was absolutely right about that. We got above the asking price for our old place. And with that, we upgraded to the geo heat pump. A normal heat pump just wouldn’t be efficient enough to really warm a house this far north. But the geothermal heat pump uses the near constant temperature of the earth to extract heating energy. That heating energy is then transferred to us via the radiant floor heating. I swear, I don’t think I wore my shoes five times so far this winter. It will be interesting to see just how low the air conditioning bills are this summer. We love the geo heat pump.
