Geothermal heating and cooling...
Can someone tell me about this? Approx. how much does it cost to install?
I have read it is something they are now installing in many new houses...more energy efficient, environmentally friendly and reduces utility bills by upwards of 50%. But I am sure it is $$$ to install. Anyone know anyone who has it?

Bumping because I know that someone on here was getting it... I'll see if I can find the user/thread.
It sounds like a great idea, as long as the cost isn't too much.

It is being installed in two of the luxury homes DH is building in Water Mill.
So far the installation has benn $$$$ and a major PITA,. There aren't too many companies on LI that know much about it, it very common in other areas with mild winters. I want to see how the systems work when the homes are finished. We are leaning back toward solar again.

Re: Geothermal heating and cooling...
This is something I am really interested in as well. I was looking into it about a year or so ago, information I found said it would be about 10K to install and would pay for itself in 5-7 years (however these were generic information websites, not a regional company which I feel would be more accurate).
I live Upstate near Albany; one of the colleges here is building a large new building that will be heated/cooled with a geothermal system - I am anxious to see how it pans out in this climate before we make the plunge to convert our home.

Re: Geothermal heating and cooling...
I'm pretty sure that LIPA offers incentives for installing these, but I'm not sure how much of a price break it is.
I've been noticing that this is becoming a common feature in the new construction homes I always have my eye on out East (not that we can afford any of them! lol). I would love to buy a newly built energy efficient home or one that already has solar panels installed
