The house has two heat pumps and two 250 ft deep vertical closed loop wells. The only think I don't know is whether or not the wells are exclusive to the individual pumps. There are two separate air handlers (two thermostats obviously controling the air handlers.) I'm wondering if it will damage the system if one pump is run to cool one side of the house for those who like it cold at night and the other pump heats the other side of the house for those who like it warm. Thanks!

That should be no problem.

sort of, it would be rather ineffective, the cooling and heating will really only be effective within one room area, if the door is closed, per air vent. also, if doors are left open, then no it wouldnt work because the cold air and the hot air would mix, at some point, and thus make it even less efficient, and make the hot air on top of the colder air throughout the house.

jointly because it would be maximum suitable to enhance the insulation, if one used a bigger unit than could be mandatory in a properly insulated abode, one ought to warmth/cool a poorly insulated abode. besides the undeniable fact that,reckoning on the aspects varieties, it quite is simpler to have axillary units for fairly warm/chilly days it they're particularly rare, quite than oversizing the main considerable device, yet this might rely on the community circumstances be conscious that there could be bigger working costs continually with the lager device, jointly as upgraded insulation is a one time cost, albeit probably a extreme one in an previous abode, extremely if a historic one the place changing abode windows could be an argument. you may evaluate the payback heavily, protecting in suggestions potential costs will purely advance.
