geothermal drilling VA AND NC

1. How deep and wide is the well?
Typically, a geo-thermal well is 6-8 inches wide and 150-400 feet deep for a home. Width and depth may vary for larger commercial structures.

2. Is the well safe?
Absolutely. Through the process of grouting, the well wall is sealed to maintain its integrity and prevent any damage to the quality of the surrounding water.

3. How much does it cost?
The cost components of a geo-thermal HVAC system include drilling (i.e. digging, grouting, installing geo-thermal pipe, and back-filing), a geo-thermal heat pump, and connected ductwork. The professionals at Triad Drillers will help you determine the right geo-thermal system for you based on the size and location of your home or commercial building and provide the precise cost of such a system.

4. Are geo-thermal systems energy-efficient?
Yes. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) characterizes such systems as the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective means available for heating and cooling.

5. Will I save money on my electric bill?
Yes. Geo-thermal systems reduce the amount of electricity needed for heating and cooling by approximately two-thirds. For every unit of energy used to power the system, three to five units are supplied as heat or cooling. While the set-up costs are higher than traditional systems, the initial cost is returned in as little as three years.
