My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bryant or another Geothermal heat pump

17 years ago

We are building a new home. We are putting in an open loop geothermal system... Our contractor is recommending a Bryant 4 ton unit with a 20 Kw backup electric . Any comments on Bryant? Climatemaster claims to be the most energy efficient. Any comments? Is there a website that reviews these systems?
