We are changing the ... ( 1 year ago by Ecohillsolutions)

We are changing the way these projects get done. Without an independent design customers are at the mercy of general contractors. The process isn't rocket science as you can see, but getting the right sized system at the right price is where EcoHill llc is helping resedential and commercial properties. Knowledge is power for these projects.

My family lives in WI, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you have already drilled in my neighborhood! Your video was very informative, interesting and it instantly eased a lot of my worries about expense and the possible size of the operation. We have been thinking about making the switch to geothermal energy for a while now, and your video explained a lot. Expect a call from us soon!

Thanks, Sarah. We ... ( 1 year ago by Ecohillsolutions)

It's a pretty smooth and clean operation for sure and
for large jobs-have wagons will travel!

I was wondering why ... ( 11 months ago by wuboring)

I was wondering why dont you dig your manifold pit first then drill through it, instead of risking hitting the pipes trying to dig it after the drilling is done? Have you considered making a 12"x12" hole in the floor by the furnace to drill to for your supply/return instead of going threw the wall? You might find to be less prone to leaks and cracks. I was also curious how thick your mixing the bentonite.. 2 bags per 500gallon? this is a much debated topic right now (bentonite grouting)

Yes. Our usual ... ( 10 months ago by Ecohillsolutions)

Yes. Our usual process is to trench and run the bore. This day the trencher was "stuck" at another job so we had to carefully executed this.
Up through the basement, is a very viable option depending on the size of the footings. Four and five foot frost walls are common which enters in to the decision making process.
Regarding the bentonite- depending on conditions, but we are finding 2 bags isn't enough. We use pure bentonite now and putting as much as 6-7 bags /750 gallons.
Thanks.

What do you use to ... ( 10 months ago by wuboring)

What do you use to mix the bentonite that thick and pump it down hole? Ive never tried it but it doesnt seem like a MX125 and a 30gpm water pump on a drill would pump it that thick Thank you for the insight

It's the thickness ... ( 10 months ago by Ecohillsolutions)

It's the thickness of a milk shake but the borerig's pumps handle it no problem.

Thank you for the ... ( 10 months ago by wuboring)

Thank you for the information.!

A rough estimate is $2,200 per ton with bentonite and this includes the loops into your house.
