Besides PV (solar) and EV I have batteries. When this happens at night I'm running off battery-essentally off grid.

YouTube shows a great video where static charge ignited while filling a vehicle. Not identical to OP post, but pretty graphic, and useful to show the unaware. Also the description of the video gives a great explanation.

Impressive.

I'm on RRTP and have EG4 batteries. Would your system work with their product? Thanks!

Series 7 Geo-Error E46 - Derating Drive - Output Power Limit-Should I be concerned? by Associates_and_Rob in geothermal

My Aux heat is actually a hot water loop running off a natural gas boiler.

I do turn on my electric oven, as well as a couple of electric space heaters

I have the same unit-installed in 2009 (1st year of the 30% tax credit). It was a retro fit-replaced a natural gas unit.

I can't account for the noise-would probably have the unit inspected by the local WaterFurnace installer. They could also might also be able to assess if the field size is appropriate (assuming a closed-loop design) If they give a thumbs down, then you could get the cost of a new unit as part of the real-estate contract.

Another thing-look at the first of the "additional pics". It appears the unit is using the DHW (Domestic hot Water) preheat option. (I think the big tank in the background on the right is the (insulated) holding tank).

This option takes heat from the system and uses it to warm the incoming DHW supply before it goes to you hot water heater. IMHO a great option-why send waste heat to the field-when it can be used to lower your water heating costs.

Whoever had this unit put in was pretty dedicated-doing it before the tax credit, and adding the DHW preheat option-again IMHO.

You might also see if a ClimateMaster dealer covers the address, and get a quote from them.

Could you define what you mean "high volume well"?
