Can we cycle the holes? Use one while the other one is warming back up. | ||

There are some modern heat pumps which can put heat energy back into the hole during the warmer season when the pump acts as a (cooler). For my own Daikin pump this would be possible if I had a different flooring than wood. "Unfortunately" I choose wooden flooring on my heated floors. Cooling this means that the I risk condensation due to moisture build-up and therefore a long-term risk of mould. But I have only need of cooling 1-2 months of the year, so it is not a big deal, I can solve it by clever use of insulation instead. But for those able to use a geothermal pump like this it also has the short-term benefit of increasing the effectiveness of the hole as well. | ||
