Actually, we did have professionals do the install. I just helped a little bit. I work for GeoSmart Energy but it was my house so I wanted to document it. The drilling and install was not cheap but worth it because they know exactly how to do it and ensure it is done properly. I would not attempt yourself unless you are a driller and have been given geo-specific training. There are many factors involved in creating a loop that will heat and cool your home flawlessly for years.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I will be in Texas so I would assume that the frost line wouldn't be that deep! It looks like you guys did this all yourself which is amazing! How much (approx) did it cost you to rent the machines and such and how much did it save versus hiring a company to to the install? I was thinking about digging the trenches and trying to drill the holes to save myself some money.

@UncleSamSpeaks For this install, we drilled 12 holes each at 80 feet deep. Once the drilling was complete we needed to tie all the pipe together at the top to form one continuous loop. This loop needs to be at least 5 feet underground in order to be below the frost line (varies according to region). I would say it's rare that a trench would have to be 15 feet deep if you are doing vertical drilling. There may be exceptions for terrain though or to avoid obstacles, etc.

So, you said that the trenches dug were only 5 feet? I was told that the holes dug have to be at least 15 feet(and then the tubes would go down another 50 feet or so) If this is true, then putting it in myself would be much more feasible. Please let me know how it worked for you.
