As a contractor, I am in the process of putting my 3rd system in on new houses. The first we used the wells. One for each ton of the system. That is the most spendy way to go, but is still probably the best. On the next one, we went to the slinky system. Again, one loop for each ton. That is what we will use on this one we are building now. We hired the digging for the trench and put the loops in our selves. Total cost of the 3 loops was right at $1000. That included the piping, trenching, and the manifold and circulation pump. If you use the slinky lines, make sure the soil is in good contact with the tubes. Try to keep lumps out. Some guys put water in the trenches to settle it in good. That's what the guy wants on his system this time. The government is giving a 30% tax credit for a system. Our state also gives a property tax reduction. Local electric company will loan up to $10,000 for the cost at 5% interest. They also give a rate reduction for electricity used, about half. You will need two electric panels and a seperate meter to get that. They are saying about a 5 year payback. We are using the 2 stage pumps which are a little bit spendier but run cheaper. It runs so quiet you hardly can hear it. About like standing next to a refrigerator. Try to get the manifold inside the house rather that buried outside. If you need to shut down one loop you can from inside but if it's buried your out of luck. Make sure you insulate the lines in the house real good as they will sweat in the winter. We also hook it into the water heater to get free hot water.
