We are going with a 4-ton Geo thermal System with horizontal lines, that we will be purchasing from Ecs up in Smithville Mo. Chris at ECS has been a joy to work with. ** Check with your local utility company. Ours will be giving us a rebate for installing our Geo Thermal system ** This is up and above the 30% tax credit we will received from the federal goverment!
UPDATE: We ended up going with a 3 ton system from FoxWood heating and cooling because they stated that we only needed a 3 Ton system, and wrote us a letter stating that if the 3 Ton was not efficient they would upgrade to a 4 Ton for free.
We have since had a recalcutation done by our Local Utility company. They have determinded that we need a 4 Ton and will not autorize the rebate.
The one thing we have learned from this is make sure that your Geothermal supplier know how to do a Manual J. A Manual J is what is used to calculate how many tons you will need for your GeoThermal system. Conventional calculations are not accurate for GeoThermal. Foxwood did not know how to do one, and is now trying to back pedal on upgrading the furnace.
We have a Climate Master Furnace. The product seems great but the AUX heat is having to run a great deal of time, and our heating costs are killing us.
