Hi, I have been reading this thread, anxious to learn more....though I don't know if DIY will work for me. I have far too many projects. One is adding a 2.5 story addition to my house. (And it looks like a lot of it will be during the winter. )-: I am in Northern NJ, have a small lot - 5000 SF, and I need to provide heat/cool for a 1200 SF addition or possibly for the whole 3600 SF house. I was thinking, I'll be digging up the back yard, maybe I could have them bury a pipe for me. But how deep? My first-choice contractor doesn't want to go slow for me, but he did quote me the savings of him not putting in a furnace/boiler. He proposes a hot water system, which seems OK to me. I might be able to DIY a heat pump to use for the hot water in the milder seasons. Has anyone succeeded in something so big? I'm waiting (2 weeks) for an estimate from one guy who wants to do 2-3 bore holes in the driveway. I just printed a list of 50 IGHSPA members, sorted by zip near my house. Will talk to some of them or ask my contractor if he knows them. Thanks Seth ...at pachai dot net |
