Plan of action
The plan of action
When constructing a geothermal heating system, it is important to proceed carefully and consider a number of crucial factors.
Below, we provide sound advice specific to your project and location.
Soil testing and soil type
Before starting, it is very important to conduct a comprehensive soil survey.
Different soil types, such as sand, clay or rock, affect the efficiency of the system.
We will also check the groundwater level, as this can affect the drilling method and the effectiveness of the system.
Our thorough preparation including geological survey ensures that we can determine the right drilling method and system for your site.
Energy needs of your building
It is essential to make an accurate calculation of your building’s energy needs.
This data helps us tailor the geothermal heating system perfectly to your situation.
We also look at the insulation of the building, because a well-insulated building makes for a more efficient system.
We recommend that you perform a heat loss calculation to determine the required capacity of the system.
Available Space and Depth for Drilling
When choosing horizontal or vertical drilling, we consider the space available on your property.
Vertical drilling is appropriate for sites with limited space, while horizontal drilling is often more economical for larger sites.
We will also check any permits required for deep drilling.
Let us look together at available space and the best drilling technique for your project, in compliance with local regulations.
Dimensioning of the System
A correctly sized system is critical to efficiency.
We ensure that the drilling and piping are matched to your building’s energy needs.
We provide accurate sizing of piping and drilling based on the energy audit and soil studies.
Cost and payback period
Although the initial cost of a geothermal system is higher than conventional systems, operating costs are significantly lower.
In addition, subsidies and financing options are often available that make the investment more attractive.
We are happy to prepare a cost-benefit analysis for you, including the expected payback period, so that you have a clear picture of the long-term financial benefits.
Collaboration with installers
We handle the drilling and piping all the way to the connection, working closely with the heat pump system installer.
This collaboration ensures that the connection is seamless.
We make sure that everything is correct and prepared for the installer so that the system can be connected efficiently and smoothly.
Sustainability and environmental impact
A geothermal heating system is a sustainable choice.
During construction, we consider the ecological impact, and we strive to minimize disruption to the environment.
We emphasize that a geothermal heating system is not only an economic, but also an environmentally friendly investment.
We choose sustainable materials and ensure that the process is as ecological as possible.
