Enter the home size, climate zone, current fuel and loop assumptions. Use the result to organize questions—not as a substitute for a load calculation and site design.
Compare complete quotes—not headline prices
- Use the same written heating and cooling load for every bidder.
- Require the loop type, length, bore or trench quantities and design temperatures.
- Separate equipment, drilling, electrical, distribution, permits and restoration.
- Show incentives, owner balance, financing and tax as separate lines.
- Get at least three comparable written proposals and verify every exclusion.
