[AT] Homebuilding a trailer ( DX heat pump)

[George Willer]

Cecil,

Tell more about the systems and the company supplying the equipment.  I have
the only DX system I know of, installed in 1991.  Now yours!  Shortly after
I installed it the supplier of the equipment (U.S. Power) as well as the
local dealer I had to use both went belly up.  Service is therefore a major
concern.

If the service hurdle is passed it's the best imaginable system.  I don't
know why others don't make the equipment, to my knowledge.  With a COP of +4
it's far less expensive to run than anything else unless you have a coal
mine of your own.

Who makes the equipment?  Web site?  Can they use an old geezer as a
salesman?

Mine isn't a vertical system, its' tubing is laid out in a grid in a pit
roughly the same size as the house and 6' deep.  Getting rid of the need for
one heat exchanger gives a real boost to efficiency.
