I have not gave her the earful yet but will. Oh did I mention she has a Prius. Ya. This kills me.
I am an engineer. So I think this is neat but think about this. So it comes out of the earth at something like 57deg. So you don’t need to use electricity to run an air con compressor in the summer. But you need electricity to run the geo pumps. Not sure the amp diffference but you saving what in the end.
