About 13 years ago, Matthew Muffley left his career of 15 years as a diesel technician and joined Jake Kocher’s Water Pumps & Tanks to work as what he calls “a jack of all trades,” and sums up as a well driller.
When it comes to drilling fluids for horizontal directional drilling and vertical drilling, such as geothermal loop installation or water well drilling, there are a lot of similarities.
An ordinary residential job for Ray Bayliff, and most other geothermal drillers for that matter, involves drilling one set of boreholes to install a single geothermal heat pump system for one house.
With all of the push-back we get in our industries, it’s refreshing to know that drilling wells for a geothermal heating and cooling system is more accessible than ever.
