188 STILL RIVER RD. - GEO THERMAL WELL APPLICATION

Gary explained the system to the Board. He said this is a Earthlink DX system that uses a 407c refrigerant with no flourocarbons if anything leaked it would vaporize. Chris Rogers asked what happens when it gets really cold. Gary Pryor said that the system keeps the home at an even Temp between 5 deg. & 95 deg. Gary also said there is an oil fired boiler as a backup. Christopher Slade asked how much electric does the system use. Gary explained that his electric bill increased about 43 dollars per month when he had his system installed. Laura Andrews asked how it heats, Gary replied it heats by forced hot air ducts. Richard said you can check it out on the website at www.welserver.com go to locations and look for wells 0201, 237 or 235.
Chris Rogers pointed out that their system uses refrigerant running through the system instead of water. Rick Starodj said that the closed loop for residential is the best because there is no contamination.
Bill Brookings explained that there is a 50 ft. offset to private well water supply and it looks like there is only 40 ft and less that 50 ft. to the wetlands. The Board approved the application for the well provided that there is a revised plan submitted showing a 50 ft offset to private well and recommended that they contact the Conservation Commission regarding the offset to the wetlands.
