single unit for multiple bldgs?

[JesseN]

2200 sq ft basement
500 sq ft above grade slab
1300 sq ft garage
2400 sq ft shop (150-200 ft away)

Can a single closed loop ground source heat pump system be used for this or would at a minimum the shop require it's own setup?

Sounds like way too much to try to heat with one heat pump, but I'm not an HVAC person. Just seems like too much.

A single well, or pond, or buried loop, or any other adequate heat transfer source could indeed serve several water-source heat pumps.

If you are asking if a single air handler/indoor unit could serve both buildings, the answer is no. Not practical.

Any such system would start with a proper load calc for both buildings.
