Hi all,

 

Just curious about how you all might comment on the proposed use of
geothermal heating and cooling in a historic house.  It runs a continuous
loop of water circulating through pipes 9 ft. underground where the temp is
about 65 degrees year round.  It is circulated through the house by putting
water pipes under the floors and in the walls.  While I loved the idea of
'going green' and maintaining a fairly stable temp  (if indeed it really
will be, as we have very hot summers and fairly cold winters), I really
wonder about the wisdom of putting pipes with water in them in the walls of
a very old and quite important two story house.  Construction is wood except
for exterior walls that are brick with space between inner and outer wall.
