Geothermal Well Drilling for Residential Homes

Efficient, Eco-Friendly Ground Loop Systems Installed Across Kamloops, Vernon, Merritt & Central BC

Geothermal heating and cooling systems use the steady temperature of the earth to efficiently regulate your home’s indoor climate year-round. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we specialize in geothermal well drilling for residential homes across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and the surrounding BC Interior. With decades of drilling experience and a deep understanding of local ground conditions, we install closed-loop vertical geothermal wells designed to power ground-source heat pumps—providing quiet, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient comfort for your home.

What Is a Geothermal Well?

A geothermal well is a vertical borehole drilled into the ground, where a closed-loop piping system circulates fluid to absorb heat in winter and release it in summer. It acts as the foundation of your ground-source heat pump system, using stable underground temperatures to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

Our Residential Geothermal Drilling Services

Vertical Closed-Loop Drilling

We drill deep, narrow boreholes that minimize surface disturbance while providing optimal thermal transfer for your home’s system. Ideal for tight lots, rural properties, and new builds.

System Design Coordination

We work closely with your HVAC contractor or geothermal installer to ensure seamless integration between the loop field and the interior heat pump system.

High-Efficiency Borehole Construction

We use thermal grout, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping, and industry-standard sealing techniques to ensure efficient operation and long-term reliability.
