Geothermal
What we do
Taylor GeoServices (TGS) provides our clients and their design team with the knowledge to effectively consider and install a geothermal exchange system.
Geothermal and other renewable energy technologies can be a smart investment for those looking to adapt reliable comfort to their project, while lowering their energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal heating and cooling systems are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available. Geothermal systems can reduce energy consumption by over 40% to 70% compared to oil, gas or electric based heating systems.

FORMAL THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY TESTING
When there are large costs associated with the installation of a geothermal well field, why guess on the design criteria when you can know for sure.
At Taylor GeoServices, our geothermal expertise extends across the northeastern United States. We have successfully conducted ground source conductivity testing for a diverse clientele, including major universities, small liberal arts colleges, arboretums, residential homes, and commercial businesses. Our advanced methodologies and accurate data analysis ensure optimal geothermal system efficiency.
Closed loop geothermal systems may use tens to hundreds of well loops, costing a considerable amount of money to install. Many projects will use a ‘rule of thumb’ when sizing well fields.
Our licensed professionals can assist in optimizing the design costs of a new Geothermal system by completing a Formation Thermal Conductivity Test (FCT).
Site specific information obtained from an FCT helps improve efficiency of a potentially undersized system (not enough wells pro- posed), reduces cost in the well field design (too many wells proposed), and provides valuable foresight into potential drilling considerations.

Formation conductiv- ity can have a rela- tively wide range, even within similar rock formations. Not testing could cost you by over sizing or under sizing your system.
TGS utilizes their own equipment and up to date analysis to evaluate your site. Don’t leave the success of your geothermal project to someone’s best guess. Find out how we can help you have a more cost effective and energy friendly source of heating and cooling.
