Geo Drilling

What is Geo Drilling?

Geothermal drilling is the process of extracting heat from the Earth to generate renewable energy. A well is drilled into the ground and a loop system is inserted into the well. The loop system extracts heat from the ground and transfers it to a heat exchanger. The two main types of geothermal drilling are horizontal drilling and hot dry rock (HDR). Horizontal drilling is the most common type of geothermal drilling. This method involves drilling a well vertically down into the ground, and then turning it horizontally at a 90 degree angle.

What we do

Midwest Geothermal offers extensive drilling crews experienced in drilling formations from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 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.

Why Geothermal for your building?

Did you know that more than two-thirds of energy consumption is from heating, cooling and hot water? You are investing a lot to heat and cool your home and keep that water hot! 

Are you making use of your available energy sources as effectively as possible? Did you know that the best way to handle all three, is just below your feet?

Geothermal systems tap into the ground just beneath you to provide consistent and reliable source for heating, cooling and even hot water, all year round. Geothermal systems have a variety of benefits including:

Being installed underground – no need for exterior equipment! You won’t even know it’s there. These systems can be installed in parking lots, green spaces or even under buildings!

Safer by reducing the amount of risk to carbon monoxide in created as you heat your building or hot water. 

By moving air more often, this will provide a more consistent and comfortable temperature and humidity control, making the whole building feel better.

Lower maintenance required – there is potentially nothing other than the heat pumps and the pumps to maintain! The ground loop itself doesn’t require any maintenance, and this system can eliminate the need for specialized technicians to flush, clean, descale or service specialized mechanical equipment.

And many more!

There are lots of appealing advantages to investing in a geothermal heating and cooling system. Now is the time to upgrade to a geothermal system – if you’re interested in securing the most energy-efficient, comfortable and environmentally friendly, contact us today!

Residential

Why Geothermal for your home?

Did you know that more than two-thirds of residential home energy consumption is from heating, cooling and hot water? You are investing a lot to heat, cool and keep that water hot! 

Are you making use of your available energy sources as effectively as possible? Did you know that the best way to handle all three, is just below your feet?

Geothermal systems tap into the ground just beneath you to provide a consistent and reliable source for heating, cooling and even hot water, all year round. Geothermal systems have a variety of benefits including:

Being installed underground – no need for exterior equipment! You won’t even know it’s there.

Safer by reducing the amount of risk to carbon monoxide in your home. No more fossil fuels being burned to heat your home or water. 

By moving air in your home more often, providing a more consistent and comfortable temperature and humidity control.

Set it and forget it! No need to worry about programming your thermostat to save you money – a geothermal system works better just left alone at whatever temperature you’d like!
