Cost to run in MA:

That might be the highest in the nation! Do you have a link to support that?

We already have a well and so I don't know if we need to worry about code for depth or trenching. It has been here for a long, long time. Or do we? So if we already have a well in place, what is there to do?
Nissa Gadbois wrote:OK, so next question (and maybe this needs to be in a separate topic), How would it be to DIY an installation for an old farmhouse? Current system is oil-fired forced hot air. We also have a lovely well that might be a source for a ground-source system. Is this something that absolutely, positively has to be done by a super expensive contractor? Because we definitely do not have the scratch if this thing is going to cost over $10K.
