GEOTHERMAL with all Hotr Water heating is thoughorly expalined simply as this:
WANT the heat of your refrigerator at home, or water cooler in the office to not be wasted?
While the compressor heats on one side and cools onthe other, you can bnefit from both sides
BUT with 100% ON Demand HW as well as a desuperheating little HW generator. These Systems by TETCO and HYDRO-TEMP of AR (contractors magazine 2004) are from parents from 1981 – and growing in handling the need for HW but not having to buy a high-cost instant HW !

see http://www.GEOPROS.org for details NOW HVAC-GT-HW-Reclaimed Heat Energy Recovery ! (restaurants do not need a loop for QUICK paybacks , a/c while 100% preheating water to 118 degrees ! (great in nursing care facilities and other high water heating consumption needing cooling and dehumidification!)

I have an air heat pump system. Can it be converted to geothermal? Can a geothermal heat pump (the unit) reside inside a greehouse?

I'm geothermal all the way! Its an awesome technology. I just wanted to add another geothermal heat pump manufacturer. TETCO Geothermal Heat Pumps Turns out they have been doing business since the 1970s, so I think they know what they are doing.

Hay! I think A geothermal heat pump is what the world needs in the near future. I know of places that this technology will work extremly well now, will pay anything for it. also, if giving the oppotunity to promote the technology, I will not only sell this product well, but also help train new associate on the instulation part. this will be a cheap labor associates. so if you are intrested and want to know the extent of my ideas. call me @ (773) 414-9484. I will not let you down. (Jerry)

Great article.

Great other resource:
Check out the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition for a US-and-Canada list of qualified installers and designers. The group is the Canadian industry association for heat pumps and some of the most forward thinking and professional American contractors have taken the much more up-to-date Canadian training and then applied for their accreditation program. The four manufacturers named in the article are members of the Canadian association and believe in the Canadian quality approach, though FHP Manufacturing is not at this writing (July 2008). There is no equivalent accreditation or training or association in the US at this time. See http://www.geo-exchange.ca.
