How long does it take to install a horizontal system vs. a vertical system?
In regards to a horizontal system, this depends on soil conditions, length and depth of pipe, and equipment required. A typical installation can be completed in one or two days. For a vertical installation, time varies with conditions on the site such as type and depth of the overburden, type and hardness of the bedrock, and the presence of aquifers. Typical drilling times are one or two days; total installation can usually be accomplished in two days.
