My power was out for three days in the snow storm and I was thankful the house had fireplaces as well or I would have frozen to death!!
If you don't mind me asking........ did you install this in an existing house or did you build a house and have it built? Was it expensive to set up?

I'd love to have geothermal heating for the house and hot water.
