Man builds year round cooling heating system for under $1000
Omaha man George Meester, 96, engineered a home climate system using a 65 foot well and a homemade coil to cool in summer and heat in winter. With a $300 outlay and self labor, the setup powers five rooms at under $100 annual operating cost, far cheaper than modern commercial units.
