deal of folks refer to ground/water source heat pumps as geothermal units,
as did Phil, so I stuck with it for his sake. Sorry for the

<DIV><BR></DIV>Semantics perhaps, but I believe you are talking about 'Ground
Source' or 'Water Source' or 'Air Source' heat pump systems.
<DIV>My understanding is that 'Geothermal' is a system that taps into
underground heat sources such as steam or even volcanic heat sources...</DIV>
