Geothermal Drilling

     Geothermal heat loops capture the earths natural heat to be used for both heating and cooling.  Liquids are put through a tubing that is buried vertically or horizontally next to the building. 

     In the heating cycle, fluid circulates through the loop is warmed by the heat from the ground and transferring it to the geothermal unit.  The unit compresses the extracted heat to a high temperature and delivers it to your home through a normal duct system or radiant heat system. 

      For cooling, the fluid removes heat from the building and transfers it into the earth.  The fluid is cooled by the ground temperatures and returned to the unit for cooling your home.

     Ingleside Engineering specializes in drilling and installing heat loops.  Most homes will require 4 to 5 holes to be drilled up to depths of 200 feet.  The holes are usually set 15 feet apart from each other.  Two polyethylene tubes that are connected by a U-bend are placed in the hole and finally grout is injected in the hole.  Each loop is then connected and tunneled into the building.
