Geothermal Wells

As part of the Go Green initiative SFCU will be taking advantage of Geo-thermal energy to heat and cool the new building. This will decrease dependency on fossil fuels.


How it works?


In the winter, fluid circulating through the system's earth loop absorbs stored heat and carries it indoors. In the summer, the system reverses, pulling heat from the building, carrying through the earth loop and depositing it in the cooler earth.


Barney & Son Drilling has been busy over the last month drilling 28 wells that will tie into the closed loop system. Drilling will be completed by the end of November.
