My son is looking at buying a house that has a geothermal HVAC system installed. Not exactly sure how old the system is; but less then a decade.
Does anyone here have some experience with geothermal closed loop systems? From the reading I've done on the system that I believe is installed there (don't know the manufacturer); it uses a well (not your water supply water well) and a grid of pipes that circulates the same water from the well, through the grid, to some form of ex-changer in the house and then back to the well?
What are the downfalls with these systems???
What needs to be checked when inspecting the system?
Is there anyone here that could recommend a company, too do a proper inspection?
I doubt a regular home inspector would have competency, with these systems.
Dan.
