In the Hot Springs area of Klamath Falls, OR, where you need a Corvair 
for winter traction on the hillsides and steep driveways, all you do is 
buy a house that already has the well drilled and system installed, add 
the plumbing required for the new garage (if required), and other than 
paying a recently implemented but small water tax, free heat goes a 
SUBSTANTIAL way toward paying off the purchase price.

As one of our local advertisers used to say, "Free is a very good price!"

You must be thinking a a different type of system than a direct hot 
water heat exchanging well.
