That's what it's called in English, and you have better mastery of the language than most native speakers.
I'm very interested in a geothermal heat pump too, but even more scared about a break in the line. My friend has had 2 breaks in his water main and 2 breaks in his irrigation in the 3 years he has owned his house. It was very labor and time consuming to locate and fix these breaks, and I'd hate to think how impossible it is to fix a break in a line that is 10 times longer, and buried deeper.
For a small house, I don't think it makes sense to install such an expensive heating solution.
I'd be more comfortable installing a geo heat solution on the bottom of a pond so that breaks could be repaired relatively easily. Then again, breaks would probably be more likely too.
