The geothermal well diggers arrived on site Tuesday evening, about 3 days early. They had another job that apparently wasn't ready for them so they came over to our site first.
They are going to dig 5 wells and then test them to make sure that they are capable of handling the load. Each well is approximately the equivalent of 1 ton of cooling. The house is sized at about 5 tons. If the 5 wells are not enough, they'll drill a 6th before they pack up and leave.
They use water to drill the wells and each well is approximately 300ft.
