Lower Cost

Because the helical pile shafts are used to install the geothermal loops, it eliminates (or at least dramatically reduces) the need to drill boreholes. This saves on the cost of hauling additional machines to site and the labor for drilling.

Less Footprint

Typical geothermal systems are installed outside the footprint of the structure. This can restrict future construction as it's forced to "build around" geothermal infrastructure. With geothermal helical piles, the footprint does not extend beyond the structure.

Versatile

Highly adaptable and customizable, geothermal helical piles can be used for slab on grade, ICF, beam, and other foundation configurations. Able to be installed in a wide variety of ground conditions with high load capacities, they're ideal for residential or commercial structures.

Easy To Install

Geothermal helical piles are easier and faster to install than other foundations and eliminate the need for additional boreholing. This can save weeks of time compared to a traditional foundation and geothermal heating installation.

Less Land Impact

Many foundation solutions have a large impact on the environment, from extensive excavation to the reliance on mass amounts of carbon-intensive materials. Geothermal helical piles are made entirely from steel, require no excavation, and can eventually be removed and recycled.

High Performance

Thermal performance on geothermal helical piles can outperform typical concrete columns, due in part to the steel shaft providing excellent heat retention. In one of our installations, just six geothermal piles were able to supply 100% of the heating and cooling for a 1,560 square foot home.
