Examples of Strandlund Refrigeration Heating & Cooling, LLC - Geothermal Installations

You do not have to be in a rural environment to enjoy the benefits of geothermal. Geothermal requires tubing installed in the ground, and today's installation methods offer several choices to make geothermal work in your situation.

Horizontal 'Slinky' or 'Racetrack' Loop Fields

These are the least expensive systems, but require a larger excavation area. The size is based on your homes square footage or heat loss calculations.

Vertical Bore Loop Fields

These also require less area for installation and are more prevalent in urban installations. Typically these are more costly to install.

Directional Bore Loop Fields

Less invasive to the property, directional boring is most effective when used in areas with limited space - around buildings or trees, for example. Less expensive than vertical boring, directional boring opens up opportunities to drill under buildings and through the woods without disturbing forestation. Limitations depend on soil conditions.

Pond Loops

Used when a private pond or lake is available. One of the most energy efficient ways to do a Geothermal loop field. Typically a lake or pond must be eight feet deep or more.

Open Loop Systems (Pump & Dump)

These systems use your homes well water instead of the ground to provide the source of heating or cooling. Then these systems typically drain clean water to a lake, river, drain field or pond. These systems are the least property invasive, and typically more energy efficient.

Heating & Cooling Options

So once you have your geothermal system in the ground, you have a lot of options on how to heat and cool your building, like gypcrete, radiant floor, gas furnaces, duct work and under ground ducts. Strandlund Geothermal solutions get the heat and cooling to your house as well as distribute it in the most effective method possible. All of our Geothermal solutions can be tied into these heating & cooling systems. Click here to see some examples of the clean, solid installations we have done recently.
