If you are going to pay the premium of having a GSHP, you want one that is designed and installed for optimal performance !
Do you think there would ever be a contractor willing to provide such a performance clause? ..or allow themselves not to be paid in full for that long? Most contractors can't afford to provide such a guarantee unless their business was more of a sure thing or health related like radon mitigation.
