Geothermal systems can cover your home's heat, air conditioning, and endless hot water.

Dear Glenn: I am building a new house that will be about 2,000 square feet. I am looking for a heating system to put in.

The house will have foam throughout the whole home. It also has a full walk-out basement that is not included in the square footage. I am only finishing the upper level.

I do have natural gas on site. I also want central air and a whole house exchange unit.

Terry, via e-mail

Dear Terry: Geothermal would be my first choice. You get heat, air conditioning and endless hot water.

Look into federal tax credits that cover the entire cost of installation.
