Your Yard Is
a Power Plant.
We drill vertical boreholes into bedrock and loop the earth's constant 55°F ground temperature through closed-loop PEX, so your heat pump runs at 400% efficiency while your neighbors burn propane.

Lead Driller · 14 years · 280+ boreholes
The Driller
Vertical loops go 300 feet down. Horizontal loops spread 400 feet wide.
"We drill vertical when lots are tight or soil is shallow — three to six boreholes, each 250 to 400 feet. We go horizontal when you've got open acreage — trenches at five feet depth where ground temperature stabilizes year-round. Both pull the same 55°F from the earth. I've drilled 280 boreholes and never hit a dry run."
Ground Loop Cross-Section
The HVAC Tech
For every 1 kWh in,
you get 4.2 kWh of heat out.
"Air-source units struggle when it's 15°F outside — their COP drops to 1.5 or less. Our ground loops stay at 55°F regardless of what's happening above. We also tie in a desuperheater: waste heat from the refrigerant cycle preheats your domestic hot water for free. Most customers see their water heating bill drop 60% just from that."
Seasonal COP Comparison
Desuperheater Integration
Captures refrigerant waste heat to preheat domestic hot water — typically 50–65% of annual water heating cost eliminated at no extra operating expense.

The Project Manager
The IRS covers 30% of your install. No income cap.
"The Residential Clean Energy Credit is 30% of total system cost — labor, drilling, equipment, everything. No income ceiling, no lottery. You file IRS Form 5695 with your taxes. On a $28,000 install, that's $8,400 back. After that credit, most customers hit payback in 7 to 9 years on a system that lasts 25+ years underground."

"I haven't touched a propane tank in 14 months. The system just runs. I check the app sometimes when it's 12°F outside just to see it sitting at 4.1 COP and feel smug about it."
