These are pictures of a geothermal project in North Portland that required a vertical ground loop. Landscaping prohibited the use of a horizontal ground loop which requires more land area. There were four vertical loops of approximately 175' each that were installed. Great care was taken so as to not disturb or damage the water pond. Most of these are pre-drilling pictures with a few shots of the drilling rig included.

This project is an 11,000 sf custom built home located near Estacada, OR. There are three separate water-to-air geothermal units installed in the home. One unit is located in the RV garage and the other two are located in small utility rooms. Geothermal heat pumps have many advantages over conventional fossil fuel heating systems, and one of those is that they can fit in to tight spaces because they do not require a lot of 'breathing room'.

This is an addition with pool-room to an existing house outside of Boring. There are three separate water-to-air units for the pool-room itself and then another unit for the second floor addition. One unit heats the pool itself, a second heats the room and then the third performs dehumidification.
