Hi all, First time poster here. I bought an all electric house and am replacing a Hydro Heat geothermal with issues to take advantage of a home warranty & tax rebate this year. I have an open loop with a Pentek Intellidrive pump control for controlled pressure. From reading here I knew a 7 Series might be questionable with open loop, but both techs I've had say it isn't a problem because of my pump. My home is 2,400 sqft with small ducting but plenty of returns. Here is the quote I received from one local company that historically has serviced my geothermal. I already questioned why the efficiencies didn't match the Waterfurnace website and he said it was a typo and forwarded me actual numbers. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns. This forum is awesome and seem to be some clear experts. The next quote was at 17k for 7 series.
