I do not doubt the bottom line of this story, BUT who considers a ground-sourced geothermal heat pump system without thinking about the cost of electricity?

A ground sourced heat pump uses much less electricity than using conventional air-to-air exchange. The trade off is that installation, equipment and material costs are greater. There's a positive return on investment but I have not looked at this in detail for awhile so will not toss out a number.

Something about this Brit's story seems off to me. He's likely leaving out some key details or ignorant of their importance.

We have a ground source system for AC and heat.
Four 200 foot wells under the driveway.

Works cheap.
