Is a vertical borehole better than a horizontal pipe trench system?
A. The heat from either if these systems is mostly stored solar heat in the mass of earth near the surface. Either system will produce similar results. It is usually a matter of cost and practicality. e.g. if land is available the horizontal trench system will usually be cheaper to instal than a borehole.
