Single-Family Retrofit

The farmhouse that quit propane for good.

The Hartwell family had been burning through 1,100 gallons of propane every winter — $3,850 in a bad year. Their 1920s farmhouse sat on four acres of deep glacial till, exactly the geology that makes vertical loops sing. We drilled two 350-foot boreholes in the side yard, ran HDPE loops to a water-to-water heat pump in the basement, and tied it into the existing radiant floor system. The propane tank rusted in the yard for a season before they sold it.

First January with no delivery truck. I genuinely didn't believe the bill.

New Construction · Architect Spec

Loops in the ground before the slab poured.

Architect Priya Mehta specified geothermal from day one. The 3,400 sq ft passive-solar build in the La Plata foothills used a horizontal slinky loop laid at 6-foot depth before the foundation was formed — the most cost-effective moment to install, with 20% lower labor than a retrofit. We coordinated directly with the GC, provided PE-stamped load calculations, and handed Priya a system that hit LEED Platinum mechanical credits without a single combustion appliance on site.

Bore gave me stamped calcs, showed up on schedule, and didn't need hand-holding. That's rare.

Light Commercial · Mixed-Use

A small building that now makes its own heat economy.

A 7,200 sq ft mixed-use building — retail below, four apartments above — was spending $18,400 a year on fuel oil for a 1970s boiler that ran 9 months a year. We designed a four-borehole vertical array at 400-foot depth, feeding a commercial water-source heat pump with zoned hydronic distribution. The owner qualified for the commercial ITC at 30%, knocked $14,000 off the installation cost, and hit positive cash flow in year three through energy savings alone.

It cash-flowed before the loan was paid down. I should have done this when I bought the building.
