If you have an oversized unit, what would that do for cooling? I thought you are supposed to have an undersized a/c to make sure the air is dehumidified.

I can cool the house with a single well placed 12,000 btu window unit and our current furnace is 60,000 btu. How would one comprimise with the GSHP?

Also, what do you guys have to say about the high COP of the GSHP and the additional heat in the loop pre heat pump?

Steve Hull: you suggest installing a normal electric resistance heat strip in the plenum of the furnace. Is that code legal??
