Geothermal – The Install Part 2
It’s been a couple days since my last post and a lot has happened. Again, I will tell the story in pictures.
Our half attic…with the light on it looks kind of monstrous. I have lots of insulation to add to the floor and then we’ll have space for all the stuff we had to move out of the garage.
Here is where all my garage storage went. This is the geothermal heat pump. It is like having your AC condenser unit inside your house. And it takes up just about as much space as you’d think.
And speaking of space, here are our two new water heaters. Well, the one of the left is actually a storage tank for pre-warmed water from the heat pump. That way the one of the right won’t have to work as hard to heat the water. It’s an important part of the system because it is the part that qualifies us for the low interest loan and tax credits that are making this all possible. But it sure does take up A LOT of space!
This tube, that looks like it is puking pink cotton candy, is attached to the single return. We used to have two returns but are now down to one….which just means I have more drywall works to do…and one less air filter to buy.
Here’s a preview of my next post….and tomorrow’s activity.
