It costs more up front, but the monthly cost is much less. It also heats domestic water, assists in the winter and could probably stand alone in the summer. WaterFurnace

cfox13 Champion Author Cleveland Posts:1,149 Points:959,160 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Jun 16, 2008 7:53:12 AM Ignore cfox13 Report Abuse We use Geothermal. I love it. It costs more to install, but it pays for itself rather quickly. When it is running, it also heats domestic hot water. We also get a $0.015/kWh rebate form our electric co-op. It's more efficient on cooling than heat, but both are great. [Edited by: cfox13 at 6/16/2008 7:54:05 AM EST]
