Included in that cost was drilling the double shafted well for domestic water and the geo, TWO geothermal heat pumps which handle all of our heat and air conditioning without an outside compressor (I oversized one of them to also handle the attic of our home for future build (another 1600SF), all the duct work for the basement and first floor, a whole house air/heat exchange unit, and two 75 gal. electric hot water tanks. and installation of all this equipment.

When we priced it out, if we’d gone conventional propane heat and AC, there was about a $10,000 difference. PSNH was offering (and I believe still is) up to a $7500 rebate to install this type of system. Our differential was about $2500!

With 2 1/2 yrs of history, our domestic hot water, heat and AC cost us an average of $100/month!

A friend of mine mentioned one of his clients just built a house and they installed Geothermal heat and it was quite expensive. But his home is a bout 4,000 square feet. Total cost was close to $40,000.00.
