Ground Source Heat Pump

Installing the loop for the ground source heat pump.
Basic info. on how the ground source heat pump works: Greatly simplified, the water will go through the pipes and collect heat out of the ground to heat the refrigerant during heating mode. It will work the opposite in cooling.

More on the unit after it arrives. Probably later this month.
