M W asked: I’m in upper-New England, which has extreme temps. I’d like to make sure that the geothermal system being built w/ my home is a sufficient source of heat so that I must rely on a secondary heat-source only in emergencies.
Also, if the system is advertised as “geothermal-heat” does that mean I should request having a/c added, that the system will not be set up to cool my home?
Thanks.

csakaany asked: I want to be an engineer who works on geothermal energy plants or atleast in that field.
So far I’ve seen courses for construction engineer, and then specialising in geotechnical engineering. Is that the right path?

mcg asked:
Our home is in Minnesota and was built in 1907. We heat our house with a gas/forced-air furnace (less than 10-years old) and seek information on how we might retrofit to a geothermal heating and cooling system. How much a pool or coil is needed per sq/ft of heated/cooled interior space ? Is the installation expensive?

Pascha asked:
Some geothermal installations involve drilling a well, others involve laying the anti-freeze filled plastic pipes in ditches.
Which is the better system? What has your experience been?
Does someone sell a kit for installing the system yourself?
