'Wow' House: Not-Yet-Built Home with Geothermal Heating/Cooling
For $559,900 they'll build it for you in East Granby with a multitude of energy conservation measures, including a geothermal heat pump.
Here's an East Granby home of the future in more ways than one: With extensive energy conservation measures and a geothermal heating and cooling system, the house at 8B Rolling Green isn't yet built.
So you could customize it.
Geothermal heating/cooling systems circulate liquid between the home and the ground, where temperatures vary a lot less than they do at the surface. In the winter, water from deep enough underground is warmer than the outside temperature. In the summer it's usually cooler.
Geothermal systems have been around for decades, and they can supplement other systems in the home, reducing their cost. Here's a U.S. government Web page about geothermal heat pumps, with links to other Web pages.
