BIG MAC Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have missed a trick. I have a redundant well at my place ..about 20ft deep we reckon and potentially suitable for ground source heating...question I hope to have answered this week is...Which is more efficient..to fit closed circuit system into the well as is or to fit it then backfill the well with sand and vermiculite in the upper layers...any experts?

Quillan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I am going to give you the best advice anyone could possibly give you, ask a professional. You must be buying the 'kit' from somebody and I suspect they will have years of experience in this sort of thing. If not they can put you on to somebody that can. Asking here (I don't mean to give offence to anyone) is a bit like asking the bloke down the pub on Sunday lunch when it comes to these matters.You can get some ideas by Googling "using an existing well for geothermal heating" It seems the 'open' loop is the most popular but I know nothing on the subject so don't take my word for it, ask a professional.

BIG MAC Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have fitted kitchens and bathrooms for years before embarking on a management (bleurghhh) career. I am meeting an expert on Saturday...just getting twitchy...excitable sod that that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
