Well...it sounds like the hor. boring is at least comparable to the pond loops, price-wize (already know both org's contract out the loop portion). I like the boring thing from the standpoint that it's WAY less area torn up...only about a 8 foot cube near the house, and we can "point" them anywhere I want. Plenty of room here.

The "contract" I received as a first bid isn't very specific...I'll ask for more details if I go with them. I want make/model, as I've been looking at on-line reviews of many. I realize it's not perfect, but at least I can see some weak areas for some units...

...and my REC offers $1650 rebate off the top, plus $300 for the HWH. With Fed tax credit (as long as it meets the criteria...a CONTRACT mandate) that's 30% of the total project cost. About $4800 total, so that gets it down to around $9500. Steep, but I spent $2000 on LP alone this year and Electric avgs $160/month.

In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
