We have been on Geo Thermal since 2009. From everything I know about them (I got a lot deeper into how they worked than I planned due to the complexity of our house; 2 zones plus heated garage plus infloor heat) I don’t know why generator versus non-generator makes a difference. You want to keep from cycling the compressors often like any system with a compressor. So if the generator comes on and stays on as a stable electrical source, he should be fine. Other than that, I am not aware that they care about the electrical feed coming in. Just 220V like the furnace, water heater, stove, or any other high use appliance. There are different kinds of Geos out there, but I think all are basically centered around the compressor and a fancy control board that controls the compressor and pumps.

The primary reason he got a generator was to run the geothermal system. The people that sold the geothermal system to him told him that he shouldn't run the geothermal system on the generator. Why would this be? Could he purchase a line conditioner of some sort to clean the power before it gets to the geothermal system? I'm not sure of the size, but it's one of those Bobcat portable welder\generators and he hooks it up to a transfer switch at the meter for his farm. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions<http://www.ics-il.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/googleicon.png]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange<http://www.midwest-ix.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/mdwestix> The Brothers WISP<http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/youtubeicon.png] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg>
