   Kind of funny they stop working when you need them most.
   
   Maybe light a fire right by the intake of your compressor lol.

     @tyler @thatguyoverthere @skylar Multi stage ones are decent, because it's just running a heat pump twice to capture higher ∆T. Still gets bad in the lower temps. I think doing a DIY geothermal install would make more sense, as that can be done inside if you have an old home and ambition or a root cellar you can sacrifice, or with trenches and pex loops in the yard.

     Yes, yes. A ton of work but possible.

     @tyler @thatguyoverthere @skylar Check this site out. Looks like you can directly pull well water for it and simply have a discharge ran directly into the well. If I'm understanding this correctly, it doesn't require as much pipe and will probably be able to tie into existing water main. I should look into this... I have a high enough water line for sure.

     @MuscleOrc1221 @tyler @thatguyoverthere @skylar Geothermal heatpump. Even when it's peak summer/winter, ground water doesn't change outside of a certain range. That range is great for extracting heat from (winter) or dumping heat into (A/C). Compared to pure electric heat, which is ≈100% efficient, heat pumps can move 4-7x the amount of heat per watt. If you've ever used air conditioning at night after the outside temperature dropped below the inside temp, you know how quickly it works. Similar concept but all year round.

     @BowsacNoodle @tyler @thatguyoverthere my old house had one like that
     you may need a return well, likely can't discharge to surface water
     the one drawback is if you need to shut off the water system for maintenance you have no heat or cooling
