Replacing 25 year old York heat pump and looking at geothermal. Have a quote for 3-ton climatemaster w/ copper heat exchanger for close loop, EER up to 29, 2 stage compressor. My house has hot and cold spots, 1750 sq. ft. post and beam. Also install york/rheem (43000 btu) blower/coil section w/ 1600 CFM blower and 15KWs of back-up heating. Quote calls for 3 (3/4 by 200' vertical u-bend geo-loops drilled and grouted per state regulations) brought to home with a set 1-1/4 supply and return lines and connect to geothermal pump packs and purge with 20% antifreeze solution. Will also install honeywell 3 stage heat, 2 stage cool thermostat and hi return at top of stairs and run return ductwork into each 2nd floor bedroom with return air grills. Price quoted seems fair at $14,500. Any suggestions on what I need to ask contractor. Thanks for all your help
Welcome to the Forum delone! There are some excellent suggestions in http://www.geothermalheatpumpforum....-geothermal-heat-pump-shoppers-checklist.html I suggest you review that thread then reply with additional info.
Hi and welcome, The drilling, install,purging,antifreeze, and pump pack install, should cost 1,500.00 per ton. If you are being quoted more, give me a call or drop me a line. Eric
