We Are Midwest Geothermal
About Us
Geothermal Ground-Loop Installation Contractors
Midwest Geothermal is an IGSHPA certified installer and drilling contractor for commercial and residential heating and cooling systems. We specialize in installing an “earth battery” for use as a geo-exchange storage solution for single family homes, commercial buildings, multi-building campuses, and district energy systems.
Founded in 2007, Midwest Geothermal has grown into a full-service geothermal ground-loop installation contractor. Our qualified staff consists of trained drill operators, multiple excavation and lateral fusion teams. We are recognized as one of the most productive mud rotary drilling companies in the country, with our investment in the newest fleet of drill rigs, all of which include mud management systems in order to maintain a clean work site. In addition to our state-of-the-art drill rigs, we have excavation equipment, fusion equipment and several flushing systems capable of commissioning most closed loop geothermal systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Geothermal energy is a sustainable and renewable way to heat and cool your building by harnessing the earth's natural temperature. Our systems use an “earth battery” — pipes buried underground — that exchange heat between your home or building and the ground, providing efficient heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. It's a natural solution that reduces your carbon footprint and energy bills.
Geothermal systems provide consistent indoor comfort, drastically lower energy bills, and minimal maintenance costs. Plus, they’re environmentally friendly — by tapping into the earth's constant temperature, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
Definitely! Retrofitting a house with geothermal is not only possible, but it can also lead to significant energy savings over time. Our residential retrofitting process involves determining the best drilling locations on your property and integrating the geothermal system with your home’s heating and cooling setup. We’ll work closely with you to ensure a smooth transition that enhances your home’s energy efficiency.
Yes, we can retrofit existing buildings with geothermal systems. Retrofitting involves connecting the new geothermal ground-loop to your building’s existing HVAC system or installing new compatible components. Our team assesses your building’s current setup, space availability, and energy needs to determine the best way to incorporate geothermal — often leading to a more energy-efficient and comfortable indoor environment.
It’s all about leveraging the earth's consistent temperature effectively. Even though the ground temperature is around 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit, our geothermal heat pumps can boost this temperature to meet the heating needs of your building. The heat pump extracts the earth's thermal energy and compresses it to create warm air or hot water. This process, combined with the efficiency of the earth-loop system, allows for reliable heating in even the coldest climates.
We’re nationwide! Midwest Geothermal is based in Grand Rapids, but our drilling licenses span multiple states including Indiana, California, New Jersey, Georgia, West Virginia, New York, Tennessee, and Washington. Whether you’re in a cold northern climate or a warm southern state, our teams are capable of traveling and managing geothermal projects wherever they’re needed.
The depth of our drilling varies depending on the project and specific energy needs. Typically, we drill between 150 to 400 feet deep, but we’re equipped to drill deeper if necessary. Factors like ground conditions, energy requirements, and space availability influence the exact depth, and we tailor every installation to ensure optimal system performance.
