Counting down to Cool!

According to Dan the installer, we should go live tomorrow with the basics. The geothermal should be complete, tested and cooling the main section of the house. Early next week we should finalize, with the addition of the north section of the house being attached. Before that can happen, the main unit must be up and running, then the north A/C unit and furnace can be removed and the ductwork and air returns be extended to the main handler. We also need to add on the steam humidifier and control and the reverse osmosis water unit to protect the humidifier. It's a pretty complex system here...

After all of that is done, then the compressors will be removed, and the openings from the old evaporative coolers will be closed off and secured.

After nearly 11 weeks, we are very happy to see this coming to a close!

Measuring for ductwork and air returns



The new water heater, existing softener and the hole in the floor which goes to the air returns.



The fluid pumps that move the coolant through the system.



The control panel for the zones, thermostats and motorized air dampers.



End of day today. Getting closer. Still need reverse osmosis unit and steam humidifier to be added on.

Wow! Pretty fancy, are you going to have a geo-thermal party when finished?
