Geothermal Lines Go In

Phase Two: installation of geothermal heating and air and comes at a cost of almost $25,000. It may seem pricy. However, yearly heating/air costs will amount to around $300. This also includes costs for upgrading the electrical system. Keeping a consistent temperature will keep out moisture and preserve the building for a long time.

We asked for bids from local Franklin County companies and one from Hardin County. We looked at the bids presented, the length of experience, the warranties offered and the contribution to the community each company offered. It was a hard decision - and based on all of the criteria we made a decision. Barnhardt Electric was selected to perform the work.

It is our hope that all of the geothermal can be installed before winter sets in. You'll see us in the community fund raising and we hope you'll contribute as well. Installing it this fall will help the mortar set better and allow us to have a warmer Historical Tour of Homes.

The first stage was installing the geothermal lines. I could write about it, however ... we got Joe Pitsor on video telling us how they did it and showing pictures! (if you can't see the video just go here)
