Subject: Geo-Thermal cost difference



Southeastern, IL
I got three quotes on a new Geo system installed in our new house. Two bids were 3 ton units and the other was 5 ton. The 3 ton bids were = WaterFurnace horizontal loop, two zone system for $23,000 and the other was a Carrier GT-PX with 3 vertical wells, three zone system for $18,500. Makes me wonder what is wrong with the Carrier unit? Or is the WaterFurnace able to keep selling at the higher price just because of its name? The other bid was a 5 ton Waterfurnace for $27000. The house is 2000 sq ft with a full basement. They all asked me what kind of insulation and windows i was installing. I am planning on 2 in of sprayfoam and then fill the rest of the 2x6 wall with blown in fiberglass. The windows will be either Anderson 400 series casements or Marvin casements. All the companies told me to put 2 inch insullation on outside walls and under basement floor. Any thoughts on the different units? Thanks
