		<description>The theory and design of home geothermal energy systems is sound. The problem is with the human infrastructure.

Here is Colorado, I installed a geothermal heat and hot water assist system. The design was sound, but the designer I hired (with good references) subcontracted installation work to an inexperienced, incompetent plumber. Numerous errors led to a non-functioning, expensive, problematic system. 

The one-person design company I originally hired kept bringing back the incompetent plumber to try to fix his own screw-ups, because the designer could get him to return cheaply. 

The problems continued until I went to a more reliable, albeit expensive, heating contractor with geo experience. At this point the designer bailed on standing behind his system or covering the repair costs. The problems are slowly being fixed and we&#039;ve enjoyed good, inexpensive geothermal heat throughout most of this winter, although I&#039;ve given up on the de-superheater hot water part. That part of the system keeps breaking down or shorting out, and the manufacturer refuses to deal directly with residential customers.

My advice is to wait awhile until the industry shakes out a bit more. There will be spotty manufacturer customer service and unreliable start-ups that go in and out of the residential geothermal business who won&#039;t stand behind their work for the long haul.</description>
