Q: Are there energy-efficient measures taken during these services?

• <div><p>Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.</p></div>

Q: Can I service my geothermal system myself?

• <div><p>DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.</p></div>

The propane company does the heating. They make sure the boiler is working well and the pipes are working well. It's kind of a full service. They're good, we've had a good experience with them.It varies, maybe $150. They're pretty competitive. I haven't had any problems. They're definitely...
