Frequently Asked Questions
What is geothermal drilling and how is it different from a water well?
Geothermal drilling bores one or more holes into the ground so a closed loop of pipe can be installed to exchange heat with the earth for a ground-source heat pump. Unlike a water well, a geothermal bore does not pump water to the surface — the buried loop simply carries fluid down and back to move heat in and out of your building.
How deep are geothermal wells in Utah?
Most residential vertical geothermal bores in Utah run 200 to 500 feet deep per hole, and a typical home needs one to four bores depending on its heating and cooling load. Commercial fields use more bores. We size the field with your HVAC contractor so the loop matches the building.
How many bores does my home need?
A rough rule of thumb is one bore for every 8,000 to 12,000 BTU of heat-pump capacity, but the real number depends on your home's size, insulation, and the local ground conditions. Your geothermal HVAC designer calculates the load, and we drill the bore field to match it.
Can you drill a geothermal loop field through Southern Utah's rock?
Yes. We use modern rotary rigs that power through the hard formations common across Iron, Washington, Beaver, and the surrounding counties. That same rock actually holds heat well, which makes vertical closed-loop geothermal a good fit for our region. Call 435-233-8954 to talk through your site.
Do I need water rights for a geothermal well?
A standard closed-loop geothermal system does not produce water, so it usually does not require the same water right a drinking-water well does. Utah does regulate well construction, and we handle the drilling to code. Your loop-field designer and the state confirm any permitting specific to your system.
