Has anyone heard of these guys? totalgreenus.com
They use copper piping for ground loops, which actually makes sense to me as it relates to transfer of heat to/from the loops.
But, they don't give any details of the heat pumps system... They happen to be local to me.  I may have to talke to them to get more details.
Thanks,
JD

DX is a well respected ( by most ) and very effecient type of geothermal system

dont know the company or what equipment they install  Look into earthlinked ecr

there the big DX manufacturer

Hi Clark,

We purchase Advanced Geo compressor assemblies and make modifications to the control block.  My technicians are amazing refrigeration engineers. 

We private label the entire installation a "Total Green Geothermal Heating and Cooling System" by project managing the heat load calculation/system sizing, insulation (we always remediate somewhere - especially air sealing) drilling (we design the drilling patterns), HVAC components and final evacuation, start-up, test and tweak.  Every system is carefully monitored to meet (our) efficiency standards.

Total Green takes it's obligation(s) seriously.  We walk from jobs where we know the installation will fail.  We give good advice, free of charge, and let the customer discover for themselves that geothermal is the best solution. 

Regards,

Paul Auerbach

Paul the advanced geo your talking about is out of Reading Pa?

If so I have nothing bad to say about the product , which from what I understand is VERY similiar to ECR in fl.

Your company and the one I work for likely bid on a few of the same jobs

Hi Geofan,

Yep, we use the Advanced Geo equipment.  And like all geo compressor assemblies requires pros to make it work.  Bidding on the same jobs?  If you're in the Hudson Valley, very likely.  I'm sure you've noted a dramatic increase in quotes and actual jobs.  Geo is really becoming mainstream.  If you're in  our trading area why not give me a call and see if there are ways we can work together.  I'm afraid with the new tax benefits there are going to be lots of "upstarts" coming into the business without proper expertise who will give us all a bad name by putting in systems that fail because of poor engineering.

Go Geo

Paul sorry didnt post back

As far as a team up ( not my call just a service tech ) I assumed that you where referring to potential joint projects or sub contracting not some diabolical price fixing scheme . so no worries there . At looking at your web site you work with local hvac companies on most jobs . we are western CT/eastern NY basically 684 to 84 . Where our interest is , is  service/maintenance as much if not more then the install if this is not where your focus lies then I dont see why we couldn't work together

For 'postage stamp' size urban residential lot sizes, what's the minimum surface area needed, per tone, for GX technology GSHPs?

For example, for a residential lot where there's clearly not enough land for a horizontal loop field, nor enough for a vertical bore hole field, with GX's less land area requirement, how small can a lot go (how many sf of yard area) and still accommodate a 5 ton capacity GX unit?

Many thanks!

Best regards,

Bill

for an angle bore a 10 foot circle is really the land that gets drilled

clearly you have to be able to fit the equipment in the yard , and you dont really want to drill under your neighbors home

I would say just about any 1/4 acre lot would not have a problem .
