Drilled Loop Fields
Stable ground temperature at depth, sized to your BTU load, with a written estimate before any drilling starts.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a loop field that performs and one that falls short is almost always in the pre-drill calculations.
Using national average thermal conductivity data instead of Denver-area geology routinely undersizes the loop field.
Boring depth is calculated from conductivity data specific to your parcel, sandstone foothills or alluvial plains soil.
A BTU load calculated at sea level overstates heat pump output; Denver’s elevation requires a derating adjustment.
Every load calculation is adjusted for Denver’s elevation so the boring count matches actual heating and cooling demand.
Skipping post-drill loop pressure testing leaves leaks or flow restrictions undetected until the system underperforms in winter.
After grouting, loop pressure is tested and flow rate is measured before the system is commissioned and the project closed.
Without a written boring plan, grout spec, and permit list, costs and depth can shift after drilling has already begun.
The estimate lists boring count, depth, grout specification, header sizing, freeze-protection fluid, and county permit fees.
Why Choose Us
Every step from first enquiry to post-install check is structured so nothing is left to assumption.
Every enquiry starts with a system evaluation, load, existing equipment, and altitude-adjusted sizing, before any work is booked.
The estimate covers boring count, depth, grout spec, header sizing, freeze-protection fluid, and all applicable permit fees.
We arrange vetted independent installers who hold the permits and carry the insurance required for drilling in Colorado.
Loop pressure, flow rate, and BTU output are all confirmed against the original load calculation before the project is signed off.
The Process
01
Tell us about the property and we arrange an altitude-adjusted load calculation and site assessment with a licensed installer.
02
You receive an itemised written estimate covering boring count, depth, grout spec, permit fees, and a project timeline.
03
After drilling and grouting, loop pressure is tested, flow rate is measured, and BTU output is confirmed before close-out.
