Man, that is the truth.
11 years on my system. Total nightmare when first installed. They kept coming out to flush and bleed the ground loop, it kept getting air in it. They finally had to bring a mini-excavator in and dig a hole next to the house and fix a joint that wasn't glued properly.
Of course, they hit the house with the excavator. Lucky the siding was new and easy to match.
Of course, they refilled the hole by putting the topsoil in the bottom, and finished with sand. I still have issues getting the grass to grow on that side of the house, even after getting rid of some of the sand and bringing in more topsoil.
