Has anyone made a setup to spray water on their AC's heat
exchange in order to help the system cool their home. Does it work
and is it economical?

I live in a hot, humid southern state.
I also plan to build a new house in the next five years and I was
wondering about alternatives a standard AC, or different things I
could do to GREATLY improve the units efficiency. It is only going to
get hotter and fuel costs are only going to rise.

Ground source heat pump. They ain't cheap to install, but they are
inexpensive to operate.


That sounds good. I have to see if it will work with a "Chiller" type
unit that can be placed away from the home and sends super chilled
coolant to the indoor air exchange. OR that is my plan any way.

What about a very large water tank stored deep in the ground to use as
a heat dump/ heat store?
Any speculations would be good. I'm still in the planning phase.
