Geothermal heating installers france

Then add in the feel good factor - knowing you are not destroying the planet, or paying for oil so often. You are trying to work out - how much you need to pay out now or how much extra, in the case of a new installation , and what will be the benefit in the years to come.

Hopefully one part of the calculation will be much bigger than the other, and the answer obvious. And please let us know what you decided, and why.

As postscript: we personally now use a woodburner in conjunction with an oil-based central heating system - I suspect that using a woodburning stove in conjunction with geothermal heating would be the ideal solution, especially now that there seem to be lots of weeks when it would be nice to have 'a little bit of heating on' i. Unfortunately for us well, in this case anyway we are surrounded by a moat and the boiler is at the back of the house which means the access for the forage is not possible.

This would otherwise have been idea. The PAC is a problem because the house is big and old 14th century manoir and without insulation. However, I believe things have moved on and lower temperatures can still produce a reasonable heat exchange. We have calculated that in an average year we have two weeks when the temperature falls below -4 degrees and have therefore based our calculations on that.

I should add though that we have the EGP electric system which is now no longer available, and this makes the system cheaper for us. At the moment the problem is finding which size PAC we need and I suspect that will be the deciding factor. Incidentally, we were told that any calculation should be based on the system paying for itself within 10 years — not more than.

I am looking at buying second hand fur coats off ebay to wear on those days when the house is just too cold even for us — and of course to lend to our guests who are used to 20 degree living.

Is EGP the precursor to Tempo, where you have about 20 very expensive days in winter, about 40 mid-price days, and the rest of the year very cheap?

Have a cast iron black stove-says Chaleur any idea of the value. Want to sell Has two doors that close, to connect outside but in house, any help you can give me will be apprceciated. If anyone has knowledge of the value of a second hand stove please post here. I can forward your details to kathy if required. EGP is indeed pre-Tempo with the 22 ultra expensive days and the rest ultra cheap. No in between as with Tempo.

EDF stopped it 10 years ago as it was so popular they were losing money! Now they seem to have settled down again in number and although I see one most days they are no longer such a problem. Back to ebay I fear! Forage is certainly more expensive but more efficient so they say!

We are not complaining about the cold — after all we chose to live in this beautiful old house — just searching for ways to stop our teeth chattering so that we could complain if we wanted to! Every time I have looked at things like this. The cost saving return period is just far to long. So I have let my head rule my heart and nevr gone down this road. I have yet to find any of these syatems when their claimed pay back periods are correct.

I must say I am finding your posts very interesting. Its so good to read so many interesting pieces. Mrs N is not at all happy that I have found your site as I am spending in her opinion far to much time on the PC dreaming about France.

This heat plant is based on geothermal, a renewable and sustainable energy source, which is allowing the city to avoid 17 tonnes of CO 2 emissions per year, corresponding to the annual emissions of 6 cars. The city wishes to show its commitment to improve air quality and the environment.

Download press release in French. France, a European leader in geothermal energy. Geothermal heating systems and HVAC systems are increasing in popularity because of all its advantages and eco-friendliness and economical running costs with over , units being installed every year in the US. As I have done some research for this article I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that there are about new installations every year and that number is increasing by about 40 percent per year since The initial cost could be a factor in not installing this kind of heating system but for me, the saving on energy used and the ever-increasing cost of heating our homes is enough incentive for me to go with this type of heating in our next home.

If you are building a new house and you can put the cost into the mortgage. You will have a sustainable home and save money on your heating from the start. If you have a heating system that uses oil, electricity or gas and wants to save on your energy costs and have a safer less polluting and quieter home.

Is geothermal environmentally friendly? What is the future of Geothermal energy for heating and cooling our homes? Geothermal energy and all the benefits it delivers will have a very promising future.
