I have put Geo systems in 4 houses now for the new home owners. The first was with a well system. They couldn't get deep enough because of rock so they had to put in 4 wells instead of 3. The other 3 houses we put in the "slinky lines". These are trenches 8 ft. deep about 100 ft. long. With the line coiled like a slinky, you have about 700 feet going out and 100 ft. of line coming back. That is in each of 3 trenches. The amount of lines needed will depend on the size of house or unit you install. Generally 1 line per ton of heating size. We went to the "slinky" lines because of costs and the fact we could do them ourselves. The well system is still the most efficient though.
All the home owners are real satisfied with the way they work and the costs of their heat and cooling bills. Up front costs are slightly higher than a good heat pump system but the govt. is still giving a 30% tax credit for the costs of the complete installation. In a new home that can include the cost of the duct work also. The last one I did, the homeowners got a $5600 credit for the system. That was a check mailed to them for that amount. Here in SD, you also qualify for a reduced property tax rate if you install one. This is good for the first 4 years you own it. The electric company also offers a reduced rate on the electricity used. The last house gets it for 1/2 the price of the rest of the house. It is on a seperate meter which also can include the water heater. The geo furnace also heats the hot water to 125 degrees so that lowers your water heating bill also. Another electric company also offers a rebate as high as $600 at the time you install one but doesn't give as good of a break on the rates. The best would be to check with your utility company on that.
