Off topic but please help.
Well my central air is out again and I am tired of fixing so looking at new units. Have searched the archives but still have a few questions.
I now use propane heat and regular split system ac. Am trying to get away from propane as central heat is only thing in house that uses it. Looking at a heat pump or a underground closed loop water system. Do not want to use well.
My house is off ground with wood floors; so so insulation. Our temperature around here is 50 mean 38 average low in Jan.(if we get to 20 its cold and only for a few hours) to 82 mean 93 avarage high in Aug. with very high humidity all year long.
How does this closed system work?
Does this system still use freon and compressor or is it total water?
Do you need to put pipes in special medium for maximum heat displacement or just bury in ground?
Does a heat pump work well with this system?
Should I forget water system and go with just a regular heat pump?
Would I need a back up heat source for heat pump?
Would elec heat coils in heat punp be the way to go or should I consider a outdoor wood furnace for use on cold nights?(wife says no fire place in my house)
Any suggestions or direction to research material is welcome.
Thanks!!!
John
