Your Guide to Geothermal Well Drilling Services

What Are Geothermal Wells?

Geothermal wells use the natural temperature of the earth to heat and cool your household. A drilling service will dig a hole on your property and install a system of pipe loops filled with water to displace heat from the earth. During the warm months, your geothermal system will transfer heat from your home into the ground. When the weather gets cold, the system works in reverse, absorbing heat from the earth and moving it into your home.  

Where Should You Install Them?

Geothermal wells typically fit onto properties of any size. Most residential systems require a depth of about 150 to 400 feet. As a general rule, every 200 feet of depth will provide heating and cooling to approximately 500 square feet of your home. Geothermal wells function best when installed on a grassy area of the property, away from sewer and gas lines. Your drilling service will survey the land to select the best installation location. 

What Are the Benefits?

Geothermal heating and cooling systems are much more energy-efficient than most traditional HVAC systems. Since they use the earth’s natural heat, they require very little power to operate, meaning you’ll save plenty of money on your monthly utility bills. They’re also a green solution for your home because they don’t burn fuel, which reduces your carbon footprint. They run quietly, are reliable, and require very little maintenance.
