I am aware of the different types of systems... whether it be vertical, horizontal, or open loops. There are also all-in-one systems and split systems. I was kind of just looking for a general answer. Here is more detail that may help you provide me with a rough estimate of how much it would cost to replace an old heating/cooling system with a geothermal comfort system. The land is approximately one acre and the size of the house is 2,000 square feet. The geographic location is a suburban area in central NJ.

My home is also 2000 sq ft and I have a horizontal loop the trench is 8%26#039; deep 10%26#039; wide and 300%26#039; long. I have a 2 stage system with a 4 ton output on the high setting. The total cost was $18,000. You may not need as large a pump as mine is supposed to keep the house a 68 degrees F down to an outside temp of 17 below zero.
I could have saved about $3000 by going with a single stage and keeping my old furnace as the blower and backup for extremely cold days. 0% 0 Votes
