Large projects · Commercial geothermal
Geothermal for commercial & multi building properties.
Ground source heating & cooling for offices, shops, churches, farms & multi building properties across the region from Topeka to Sedalia & St. Joseph to Butler, with loop field excavation handled in house.
Lower operating costs for buildings that run every day
Commercial & agricultural buildings run heating & cooling for long hours, which is where geothermal pays back fastest. The ground loop replaces outdoor condensers & fuel burning equipment with steady ground temperatures.
GeothermalKC digs the loop field & installs the system, & on new construction the loop can be placed during site preparation, before paving & landscaping make the ground harder to reach.
Geothermal projects across the region from Topeka to Sedalia & St. Joseph to Butler, with the loop field dug & the system installed by one company.

Common questions
Does geothermal work for commercial buildings?
Yes. Buildings with long operating hours see the largest savings, & geothermal also removes outdoor condensing units from the site.
Are there tax incentives for commercial geothermal?
Federal incentives for commercial geothermal have been available, & terms change over time. Current eligibility should be confirmed with a tax professional.
How large a building can GeothermalKC handle?
Project size is reviewed at the consultation. Loop field size, available ground & equipment are matched to the building.
