We're building a 2,500 sq ft house with an unfinished basement on 5+ acres. Our builder suggested geothermal and we agreed. They started to dig vertical lines but, after three days, said there were too many problems. Initially, they were going to have 3 400 ft lines but then said they were going to dig 6 200 ft lines. Now we're told that we'll have to have horizonal lines.
Could/should this have been avoided?
I'm assuming that we were paying more for vertical (although I haven't seen an invoice). Should we get a discount since we're getting the cheaper horizontal lines?
I appreciate your help! |
