Earth Loops installed by Martha's Vineyard Geothermal

Horizontal Loop

This is installed in areas where soil conditions permit economical excavation. Taking up more land area than any other loop type. Where space permits, these loops are considered desirable.

Pond Loop

Usually very economical to install. If a pond or lake at least eight feet deep is available, pond loops can utilize water (rather than soil) to transfer heat to and from the pond. A coiled pipe is placed in the water, which should cover about half an acre. An average home would require about 900 feet of pipe. Reduced installation costs and high performance are characteristic of this type of loop.

Vertical Loop

This loop used extensively where land area is limited or soil conditions prohibit digging more economical horizontal loops. A pair of pipes with a U-bend at the bottom is inserted into a bored hole that averages between 150 to 250 feet deep per ton of equipment. These holes are then backfilled with a special grout solution to ensure good thermal conductivity with the earth.
