Somewhere in your area is the local landfill or recylce center that takes these things in. In my town, that's the local contracted disposal service, and they...
It would work, but the difference between that and geothermal HP for a home is that the ground loop in the home system is used to both heat and cool, while...
Ground conditions such as poor thermal conduction, soil hardness (rock), lack of moisture, and high population density zones all can lead to thermal saturation...
