Re: [HVAC] Manual J and heat pump sizing

I'm sort of surprised by that as well - only 1-1.5 meters ? that's only about 10 feet - you can almost dig that with hand equipment, although I can see contractors using a backhoe for that.

scooper,

They have a special plow like thing that get the loop hose down and seal it up in one shot if the soil is good. With a backhoe you dig one 1+ meter wide ditch half the loop length and put the loop hose on one side and return on the other side.
