I was hoping someone could give me some info on how many feet of loop per ton for a horizontal loop install.  Here in Oklahoma we have good ole red clay.  What else would determine loop length?  I will be using ClimateMaster tt27s with a need of just under 5 tons of heat and just under 4 tons of cooling. 

Thanks for any info.

OK!!!!

More options on horizontal than I was aware of.  I had planned on doing a single pipe install.  However I will be doing the labor involved in running the loops so I can use which ever option I chose.  That being said I have no idea which is better or makes more sense or the cost break outs.  Less trenching less rental days!!  But does slinky pipe cost more??

Thanks

In a 500' loop.....is that 250' trench and 500' pipe or 500' trench and pipe?

Does a slinky loop exchange heat as good as a 4 pipe or single?

I will rent either a backhoe or trencher whichever I need?

I'm on 10 acres but it is heavy woods except for the home site.  Venturing outside of the yard area would require a trencher, but I have enough yard to go with a four pipe and backhoe.

I won't be able to fuse or flush unless I come up with the equipment and knowledge.  I plan on trying to recruit a local loop contractor to take care of that.  I haven't tried to find anyone yet but thats next.  I'm just trying to figure out all my loop options.

Thank You
