Geothermal Drilling

Harness the Earth’s natural energy for efficient, sustainable heating and cooling

Geothermal Drilling

Reliable, Eco-Friendly Climate Solutions for Homes and Businesses

Hamm Well Drilling is experienced in the drilling and installation of vertical geothermal loops. Vertical loops take up significantly less area than horizontal loops and allow the installation of geothermal systems in homes and businesses that are limited by space.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems use the natural rigidity of the ground temperature (~56ºF) to more efficiently maintain the temperature in your home or In the summer, the system absorbs heat from your home or business and transfers it into the ground; in the winter, the system absorbs heat from the ground and transfers it into your building. This passive exchange of heat, provided by the Earth’s natural ground temperature, is responsible for the efficiency of geothermal systems.

Our Geothermal Drilling Process

We follow a proven process to ensure every geothermal installation is efficient, reliable, and built to last. From initial planning to final support, our team delivers precision and expertise every step of the way.

1. Site Evaluation & Permitting

We begin with a thorough site assessment to determine the best location and design for your geothermal system. Our team considers soil conditions, property layout, and energy requirements to create a customized plan tailored to your needs.

Using specialized drilling equipment, we construct vertical boreholes that require minimal surface area. Durable piping is installed to form a closed-loop system, ensuring long-term performance and efficient energy transfer.

Once the loops are in place, we connect the system to your geothermal unit. Rigorous testing is then performed to verify that the system operates efficiently and delivers reliable heating and cooling.

After installation, we conduct a comprehensive inspection to confirm quality and safety. Our commitment doesn’t stop there—we provide ongoing support, maintenance, and service to keep your geothermal system running at peak efficiency for years to come.

How Geothermal Systems Work

Geothermal systems take advantage of the Earth’s naturally stable temperature—around 56ºF just below the surface—to provide efficient year-round heating and cooling. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that work against outside air temperatures, geothermal technology uses the ground as a reliable energy source.

The Heat Transfer Process
Summer

he system pulls heat from your home or business and transfers it into the ground, keeping your building cool and comfortable.

Winter

The process reverses—heat is drawn from the ground and transferred into your building, providing consistent, energy-efficient warmth.

This passive exchange of energy, powered by the Earth itself, is what makes geothermal systems so efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective.

Benefits of a Professionally Drilled Well

A geothermal system is more than just an alternative heating and cooling solution—it’s an investment in comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. Here’s why homeowners and businesses choose Hamm Well Drilling for geothermal installations:

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Geothermal systems use the Earth’s consistent ground temperature to regulate indoor climates. This efficiency can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 70%, offering significant savings over time.

Space-Saving Vertical Design

Unlike traditional horizontal loops, vertical loops require minimal land, making them the perfect choice for properties with limited outdoor space.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Energy Source

By relying on renewable ground energy, geothermal systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a clean, sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-based heating and cooling.

Reliable, Low-Maintenance Operation

With fewer moving parts and protected underground components, geothermal systems require less maintenance and offer dependable performance year after year.

Long System Lifespan

Built for durability, geothermal wells and loops can last decades, ensuring reliable comfort and consistent efficiency for generations.
