    The 4 ton won't be over sized because it's a two stage unit. In fact it'll spend most of its time operating as a 3-ton and then upstage to a 4-ton when Btuh demand is high. The geo will feel...

    How effective is the passive solar? Is the heat pump mainly there for cooling and supplement to the solar? You might want to consider a multizone ductless system.

  21. 2-stage vs single stage

    I agree that you won't know if you'll get a decent pay back without an operation cost calc. The 2-stg will provide more comfort due to the longer run time. Is the compressor a 2speed or Copeland...
