I am very excited that we have made the decision to go with a Geothermal HVAC system. In the end, the 30% tax credit for Geothermal that was provided in the recent stimulus bill made the decision much easier and I am happy that we won’t have to bury a big propane tank in the backyard, as that was the next best alternative. We are working with the folks at Conceo Geothermal of Bridgewater, MA who have engineered closed loop Water Furnace system that will use about 30% of the energy of a traditional HVAC system when combined with our 2x6 walls and spray foam insulation. The three vertical loops will be installed in front of the house, likely under the driveway. We were impressed with Coneco’s experience and I believe this is one of the first residential geothermal systems in the Needham area.  The duct work begins next week. The drilling part of the project should finally get my using my video camera for some video posts.
