I need some advice. I friend of mine is going to have a GeoThermo system put in his home. He currently is heating with a heat pump with propane back-up. Forced air. The house is a 1993 story and a half cape. Location is northeast Ohio. He is considering two brands of units. A Water Furnace (Envision 049) or a Carrier (GT-PG). Both are 4 ton units.
Do any of you have experience with either of these units? Your thoughts and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks. Mike L.

Any thougts on these brands? I know the installer is the most important piece but I want godd components as well. Thanks for your help. Mike L.
I'll second the request.
Who makes the best (or better, at least) GSHP's?
For instance, if one has a higher level of hardness or bacteria in his water, which manufacturer would produce a self cleaning coil?
Who provides the best heat recovery into a water tank?
Best efficiency?
I'll third the request and add a question of median cost. My heat bill was 300/mo last year and they're talking about a 50% rise this year.
I may have to start burning FHB back issues to stay warm.
I usually use Climatemaster. Only reason I do is because HVAC guys recommend them to be as good as Water Furnace for less money. Supposedly Climatemaster is the guys that started Water Furnace and sold out.John

The HVAC guy I use, trust, and like uses Florida Heatpump Systems.We've put in two that work flawlessly.Another HVAC guy whose jobs I've been around, whose work is amatuerish, and who comes up with some outlandish reason for his work and the results, uses Water Furnace... Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"
