It’s been too long since we’ve posted, but that’s due to work. So we’ll shortcut to some photos.
This photo shows the area we used for a future 4-ton radiant design. We often get asked how much space is required. This is, of course, just an example.
This is the individual trenching and loop layout (for this design).
Another job was a tight retrofit. This photo shows our review of the existing setup. One item to keep in mind is the changes required for the old gas hot water tank venting when it is disconnected from the old gas furnace venting.
The following photo is not meant to show you how much of a mess we can make of your yard. It is just to show you that we can retrofit some pretty tight landscaped houses.
The reverse-return header for the vertical installation. The small line in there is a drip irrigation line. Frankly, the geothermal design is for the dry soils encountered, but the drip irrigation should introduce some moisture and improve efficiencies. Never design based on the drip irrigation though, as your ground loop will likely far outlast the lifespan of the drip irrigation materials.
Josh showing how much nicer it is to install a plenum heater outside in a nice spot vs. cramped inside.
