skyking,

Thanks for the great pictures. I think that these photos are very motivating for anyone who may have an interest in building or contracting out a ground source heat pump.

Also, I'm very interested in the solar heat part of the setup you guys are doing. If there is any information and/or photos you could share about that, it would be very useful. Not only the collector part, but the plumbing, etc that keeps excessively hot water from doing damage to your loop field, and all pump sizes, etc.

Are you using an air handler for your heat pump, or a radiant setup?

Also, what was the heat loss you figured for your house when you did the design?

The house heat loss would be useful information to compare to the size of your loop filed and your solar component.

Thanks,
