Oh well.

The well drillers were back again today, in the rain, to drill our two geothermal wells. These are the wells that will support our geothermal HVAC system. Each well is 225 feet deep and has a loop of PVC pipe that connects at the bottom to give each well 450 feet of pipe. This is the needed length to properly support a very efficient geothermal system for our house size.

With the first well complete and its loop in the ground, the second well is drilled a short distance away. Ultimately it has its own PVC loop. The two loops join together between the 2 wells at a junction box, and then two lengths of PVC enter the house to the geothermal heat pump.

So now we have 3 wells on our property. The first one, along with a water conditioning system, will provide us ample drinking water. The second and third will provide us wonderfully efficient, some say “free”, heating and air conditioning.
