We installed a geothermal system in Pa with vertical closed loops. Depth was 220 feet. The horizontal system would have covered a large area plus, as stated, would need to be careful not to put anything on top of it. With the federal tax credits and the 1% financing by the State and the savings by not having to replace our oil burner total cost was around 7K. Without those three things I would not have been able to cost justify the changeover. The folks who bought our house told us the geothermal system was what convinced them to buy and they did pay more for our house then others that were available. Of course that comes under the find the right buyer project.
