Anyone out there use a Geothermal HVAC system? I've been reading about them and they seem like they would be a great way to reduce some energy usage but they can be quite expensive. I'm curious what other peoples experiences have been with these types of systems and have a few general questions.

Did you install it yourself or hire a contractor? Cost?
Does it work as well as a regular HVAC system?
Do you use it to heat your water? What supplemental water heating are you using?
Any other experience you would like to share?

i personally havent tried anything seeing as i live in an apartment but i love reading the "citrus In The Snow" report.

it has some great info unfortunatly its not free but i had to only pay $25 for it so if you havent given it a good read id recommend it.
