When you hire an installer or a contractor to do the work, make sure he is taking these steps to get the proper ground loop as if he fails to do this and just starts digging to put in the pump, then you should automatically realize that you hired someone who doesn’t know what he is doing and therefore you should get someone else to do the job for you.

There are several different types of geothermal heating and cooling systems, and when your contractor scopes your property and begins talking to you in terms of “loops,” you know you are in good hands, because when a geothermal heat pump is operating, it is either in a heating mode, or a cooling mode.

In the cooling mode, as in central air conditioning, the energy will be coming from the heat sink.
Either way, your system will be one of the following loops.
Closed Loop Fields
A. Vertical closed loop
B. Horizontal closed loop
C. Slinky closed loop
D. Closed pond loop

The following types of pumps are also available for purchase, and your contractor will be able to decide which one your property and household needs.

A. Water-to Water
B. Water-to-Air
C. Hybrid

This information is being delivered to you, not so you can go out and purchase loops and pumps on your own, but so that you’re aware of all the options. That way, when the professional begins talking about a certain pump, or a certain loop, at least you will have heard about it.

Let a professional decide on the best option for you and for your particular property and land, to guarantee that the installation is the best to cover your needs.

Letting someone else do the geothermal system installation, especially a professional who knows what he is doing, will be cost effective in the long run as well. After all, when you are paying to have something done, you want it done right.
Enjoy which ever system is right for you, your household, your wallet, and your property.
