Geothermal HVAC

The Purpose of this
Geothermal book
The first step to a successful geothermal installation is an informed consumer. The next step is a well-informed contractor. Between the two, there is mutual respect, and communication exists in good measure. That is the primary purpose of this book. It is to inform the consumer and contractor alike what to expect from conception throughout the process of installation, and on into the commissioning and proving of the geothermal system. This is not a technical textbook on how to install geothermal air conditioning systems, but rather a book on how to understand the necessary terminology, steps and measures to protect the consumer and this industry from ignorance and misinformation.
