Lately I have been involved in the design of geothermal heat pump systems. We have used the closed loop design and installation costs are a big number. I have heard of direct burial systems, i.e. burying refrigerant lines in wells, but am concerned about problems. Does anyone out there have experiences, positive or negative, with these systems?
