Why I Went With Geothermal For My Net Zero Home. In a recent heat pump video I covered how air source heat pumps are getting so much better in the cold, but in my new house I decided not to go with one. Instead I went with the more expensive option: a geothermal heat pump. Why did I decide it was a better option to drill into the earth 400 hundred feet at more cost for my new home? I’ll run through that, but there’s also a few other things I kind of went a little nuts on in my house that are worth touching on too, like smart electric panels, a crazy home network, and more. Let’s get into the current state of my net zero energy home.
