Should I buy a GeoExcel heat pump large enough to heat my home with no alternative heating?
You will be able to receive a heat loss/ heat gain through your contractor, to help you decide which heat pump would work best for your situation. Geothermal heat pumps are sized to meet your cooling requirements. Depending on your heating needs, a geothermal heat pump will supply 80 to 100% of your heating load. Sizing your heat pump to your exact heating needs might lower your energy costs insignificantly, but usually not enough to offset the added cost of buying a larger heat pump. There also have been dehumidification problems in the cooling mode with an oversized unit, causing discomfort in the summer.
