[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 2769125, member: 24577"] I have geothermal and it sucks. It struggles to keep my house cool and you can barely even feel it blowing air out. I have had it worked on 3-4 times over the last 3 years the last being last week. It is only about 10 years old. I definitely would not get one. There are not that many people that work on them either. So that can be a task finding someone who will and someone that actually knows what they are doing. I would much rather have a regular unit. But I didn't pay to have it installed either. I rent from my tribe and they are the ones that chose these types of units. I also read the post where the person has a 4500 square foot home with 5 people and their bill was never over $280. We are s family of 3 in about a 1400 square foot home and are total electric and my bill never gets below $250. It usually is around $300. Could be the difference in units or what the utility company charges. I keep mine set on 67 and it usually climbs to 73. I know for most that ain't bad but when you have it set as low as I do it should maintain the temp. But it never does. When my dad turns his York on it blows as hard as I have seen. His is the top of the line York. When I build my house that is what I will be getting. [/QUOTE]
