I want geothermal but I can’t afford the installation costs I’m told starts at $15K. I relize I ‘ll need some professional guidance as I’ve never done it. I want to do much of the installation myself. I want to use vertical loops. Can you give me some instruction on how to do this. IE what equipment I’ll need to bore 300ft deep holes,the pipe to be used, the pump and heat exchanger. Where do I look for rights to the land below my yard, obtaining permits to dig deep into my property.I will quantify any info you give and treat it as mere suggestion. I need a starting point before I approach a contracter to design the system and complete a portion of it.
Also I need to know if reinforcing the bore holes is necessary and how to do it.
Thanks for these great resources!!!! Really informative!
Thanks a lot
