Was thinking about looking into geothermal heat pumps.  Ground temp
here is about 50 degrees and we keep the house at 70 degrees.  That
gives a theoretical COP of 532/(532-510)$.2

To be more realistic lets say the hot coil is 105 degrees and the
ground coil is 35 degrees to draw the heat out of the ground.  That
would give a COP of 565/(565-495)=8

Can anyone here tell me if that is in the right ballpark?  Thanks
