What is Geothermal Well Drilling
Amber Water Pros
We Provide WELLCHECK™ Testing With EVERY New Residential Well!
The safety of your water is extremely important! That is why we include WELLCHECK Water Testing with every new residential water well that we drill. This extensive ISO 17025 Certified Water Testing provides a detailed laboratory report on your water quality.
Our Well Digging Process
Before drilling begins, we will conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the ideal drilling location on your property. This will include geological surveys, soil testing, and evaluating the property layout for system efficiency and compliance with local regulations.
Using this site data, a customized geothermal system is designed specifying well depth, borehole diameter, and loop configuration. All necessary permits and regulatory approvals will be obtained before drilling begins.
We use state-of-the-art geothermal drilling rigs equipped with diamond or tricone drill bits. These powerful machines are transported and assembled on-site, ready to power through soil, rock, and bedrock.
Our drilling begins with a pilot hole, usually 24-30 inches in diameter, drilled vertically to the required depth of the site. Once the pilot hole reaches depth, a steel casing is inserted in the upper section to stabilize the borehole and protect groundwater.
Cement is pumped around the casing to seal the area and ensure structural integrity. We continue drilling with smaller drill bits as needed, sometimes adding intermediate casings to safely navigate different soil or rock layers until we reach the target geothermal zone.
We lower specialized tools into the borehole to log temperature, pressure, and geological characteristics. This data confirms the well’s suitability and helps us make final system adjustments.
After drilling, a closed-loop pipe bundle, made from high-density polyethylene, is inserted into the borehole. This loop circulates fluid to transfer heat between the earth and your building’s heat pump system.
The space around the loop pipes is protected and filled with a thermally conductive grout or concrete mix to ensure efficient heat transfer. This also seals the borehole against contamination.
Your geothermal loop is connected to the heat pump and building system. Then we perform tests to verify system functionality, flow rates, and heat exchange efficiency before your system goes live.

Geothermal Well Drilling FAQs
Geothermal wells are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional HVAC systems. They tap into the Earth’s constant underground temperature to provide efficient heating and cooling for buildings. They transfer heat to warm your home in the winter and remove heat to cool it in the summer.
Geothermal drilling involves creating deep boreholes into the ground where pipes are then placed to circulate a heat-transfer fluid. This fluid absorbs or dissipates heat from the earth, which is then used by a heat pump inside the building to regulate the indoor temperatures.
Yes, geothermal wells are safe when properly designed and installed by experienced professionals like Amber Water Pros. They do not produce emissions or combustion byproducts and operate quietly.
Groundwater contamination is a risk if the well is not properly sealed or if drilling occurs near pollution sources. Proper construction practices, permitting, site evaluation, and environmental assessments minimize this risk.
Geothermal wells tend to have higher upfront installation costs, but they can reduce heating and cooling energy use by up to 70%, leading to much lower utility bills. Over time, these savings will offset the initial investment. Many states also offer tax credits and incentives to encourage environmental stewardship.
