    People that know a thing or two about GREEN Technology / Heating please step inside!

    Anyone have a house that they heat using a geothermal heat pump heat source with radiant infloor heating?

    Is radiant infloor heating enough? Will it heat up a house in say -20 degrees Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit USA) to 23C (73-74 F)?

    Are the use of radiators in addition to infloor heating needed?

    Anyone have in-wall radiant heating as well? Is this practical or just a simple marketing ploy by the companies offering it to cash in some more?

    Thanks for your help/feedback!

          I still burn wood
          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
          think about that

              We had a house in Gainesville FL for a while and one winter we woke up freezing. It was 40 or just below in the Bedroom. Heat pump had frozen over. It was about 18 outside. We pulled the mattress out of the bedroom to the living room, lit a fire and slept there. Took 2 days to get the heat pump fixed.

              I was actually fun for those 2 days.

                  very cool, was reading this

                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heat_pump

                  i'd go through this: http://www.ehow.com/list_5988821_geo...at-issues.html

                  and give your sales guy a call and ask some pointed questions, take notes and call the next sales guy till you feel you know more about it then they do

                          post back here on what you decide to do, that is a very cool system.

                          you have hippies around your area? i know in strathacona here they have a one or a few 'test' houses where they're running geo thermal, sewage and water creation that basically has no impact on the environment.. if you got those, the students/hippies are going to tell you everything, rather than the sales telling you everything they want you to hear

                              I live in eastern europe and there's quite a few houses here who have geothermal heat pump installations... the point of my thread is to talk to some people who have infloor heating, because id like to find out if they use any other forms of heating on top of infloor heating to heat their homes during the winter nights (other form may be radiant wall/ceiling heating, radiators)

                                  I usually get friends that need some trees cleared and I love my Stihl chainsaw. I have a wood burning stove thats like 30 years old and works great, if the power goes out you can cook on it. I left some matches on it recently and a little bit later they flamed up, surprised me! LOL

                                          I burn wood for heat, but have been looking into geothermal as a main source. I would rather spend the upfront money on a unit that will save $ in the end, I just don't know if they have it all worked out, YET. I have been in caves in the dead of winter and the same in summer, the weather never changed in there. Until I can see the pay off, then it is me and my Stihl and trusty, rusty splitter saving on the heating bill.
