Posionous Gas No Longer Lives Here

Finished the install on the Geo Heat Pump Thursday. Which means I valved the Natural Gas out. I have to call and disconnect next week. No more CO monitor or worry about the heat box going out.

The big delay finishing this was getting a heating contractor out to hook up the duct work. He has been busy since before Christmas. I wanted it to look good and I can't bend metal the way they can. Very nice guy. He even went back to the shop and got me a better thermostat because he thought the one I got was not good enough, he was right. He has never installed a Geo unit, though this is the second unit he has done duct work on. He then called me at 9 pm that night to make sure my wiring went OK and I had heat. He seem surprised that it was working, I must have instilled some confidence in him.

Pump is running well. I will not say good because I picked a cold week to do the change over. The emergency Electric coil has run a lot. The outside ground loop is still eliminating air, and my setup to do this was not as effective as I thought. So, the compressor keeps kicking off, which means it isn't producing enough heat to keep the house warm, hence the emergency coil. I got some plumbing parts yesterday, I hope to get it straightened out. Of course 6 degrees C will be easier to maintain than the -4 C it has been.

Very excited, it runs more often, but is very quiet compared to the old furnace. Looks prettier in the basement and is half the size of the old furnace.
