Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between open-loop and closed-loop geothermal wells?
- An open-loop system draws groundwater directly from the well, runs it through the heat pump, and discharges it. A closed-loop system circulates a fluid through sealed pipes installed in a vertical borehole. We drill for both types depending on your system design and local conditions.
- How deep does a geothermal well need to be?
- Vertical closed-loop boreholes for geothermal systems typically range from 150 to 400 feet deep, depending on your system's heating and cooling load. Open-loop wells are drilled to the aquifer depth. Your HVAC engineer will specify the required depth.
- Do you coordinate with geothermal HVAC installers?
- Yes. We work directly with your geothermal HVAC contractor to ensure the well meets all system specifications and is ready for loop installation or pump connection.
- Is geothermal well drilling available for commercial buildings?
- Absolutely. We drill geothermal wells for commercial buildings, schools, and large facilities throughout central Kansas.
