Actually it was cheaper. Both units was 25,000 adding the germinal and filtration put it up to close to 30. Which was for both units the light filters and cabinets . So I don't know.

And those filters are good for 6 months and they give you 3 (6) for both to start with .

Geothermal heating and cooling systems use the Earth's relatively constant temperature to heat and cool buildings. They work by transferring heat between the building and the ground through a network of underground pipes. In the winter, they extract heat from the ground, while in the summer, they transfer heat from the building into the ground.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
1 Underground Loop: A network of pipes (the loop) is buried underground.
2 Fluid Circulation: A fluid, like water with antifreeze, is circulated through the loop.
3 Heat Transfer: In winter, the fluid absorbs heat from the ground, and the heat is then transferred to the building. In summer, the fluid absorbs heat from the building and transfers it to the ground.
4 Heat Pump: A heat pump unit, located indoors, compresses and expands the refrigerant to move heat.
5 Distribution: Warm or cool air is then circulated through the building's ductwork, or in some cases, through radiant floor systems.
Types of Geothermal Systems:
• Horizontal Loops (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=896bc82726dbc1e3&hl=en-us&cs=0&sxsrf=AHTn8zp4zC2XZh-HgiAHuiU2QEmMi1CKaQ%3A1746720459037&q=Horizontal+Loops&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwie0NzjoJSNAxWFnokEHU_nCHEQxccNegQIMRAB&mstk=AUtExfDvAi1-cHfWM2sgFspHAi-UrOeNxuqf-NpFnJxQXWgp52qgLkPHQnAVw0nWDAjXMXpvEoGa64Nge-eNGr9AwKF7__A1S6RI_ws2KJ_XRei4ASnplsrRvJbDTsYi3Oxhdg8NW92ZGqLxUIYox4pACH_-1wmCqYTT_h3ZLrDxo17zBTiAcPFovfjTcO2OvJCQ2WGdrrhpHiQG2YDh2zLDIQ5cZFhidm8ZWsRTmMhf6r1jIZC35czaIPwoOIUknl6ci8kmZu9FaOA2-dbtWeDMUBB2WWuJRPxsQpgj92WIx1ZiZA&csui=3): Pipes are buried in trenches across the ground.

Solar thermal systems can also be used in conjunction with heat pumps to provide both heating and cooling.
Benefits of Solar Heating and Cooling:
• Reduced Energy Costs: Solar energy reduces reliance on traditional energy sources, leading to lower utility bills.
• Environmental Benefits: Solar systems produce significantly less greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional heating and cooling systems.
• Increased Energy Independence: Solar systems provide a degree of energy independence, reducing dependence on external energy sources.
Considerations:
• Cost: Solar systems can have a high initial cost, although government incentives and tax credits may be available.
• Space Requirements: Solar panels require space to collect sunlight, which may be a constraint in certain locations.
• Intermittent Power: Solar energy is intermittent, meaning it is not consistently available, especially at night.
