| I would be very interested. I have been researching wind generators Horizontal and vertical axis. I did put in a open water geothermal ac/heat last year. Water to water. Hmmm Jim |

| Jim , I have been researchng the wind generators , too . I think I am going to save that project for after the home is complete , though . Is your geothermal open loop with forced air distribution ? Did you use wells or a pond ? Just finished the radiant tubing and concrete pour . This week hooking up manifolds , mixing valves and pumps for the radiant and installing the geothermal pump. |

| What company did you buy from online? I'd like to do my own geothermal. |

| Check out the post on the Heating and Air Conditioning forum, serach "TerraSource Geothermal DIY" before you embark on a DIY GT project. I have a GT system and witnessed just about everything during the install - very glad I had pro's do it. I am very handy but would never ever attempt to DIY one of these unless it was a hobby project for fun or to learn. There are many variables that must be considered to making sure the design is right for your specific site and house design. Even if you somehow manage to get it to work, plan on doing your own troubleshooting and maintenance. |
