HX freeze ups

Then there is the issue of the amount of heat your loop itself is able to supply... You could have more earth work in your future.
The loop field is actually oversized and is rated at 4 Ton for this area 600 ft of 3/4 tube equals one ton and a little more than 2400 ft installed.
I'm thinking that my next step will be the antifreeze solution. Based on the comercially installed system in the house (which has the antifreeze) I'm running the same pumps used in a 6 Ton install. so the only other thing lacking is the antifreeze. The antifreeze is no small investment a 30% solution is worth about $400.00 for my loop.
Maybe the little 2 ton may have done the job. A little more refrigerant charge and antifreeze might have done it. Oh well. The joys of hacking.
