Popular Needs for Well Drilling in Minneapolis

As one of the leading well drilling companies in the area, we have seen a lot of well installations. There are a couple well drilling projects we complete frequently around Minneapolis. Well drilling services are requested by residential and commercial clients. The two projects we complete often are water well drilling and irrigation well drilling. Water well drilling is typically for the water inside your home or business, while irrigation wells focus on keeping your lawn and landscape moist. In this blog, we're going to explore these two types of well drilling projects more closely.

Water Well Drilling

Water well drilling is the most popular type of well that we drill. They are utilized by all types of customers. From the first time home-owners, to large corporations, we install them all. Here are some of the most common reasons we install a water well:

·         Residents building a new home need a well drilled on their property.

·         People want to switch from city water to using their own well, thus needing one drilled.

·         New commercial businesses in the area need a water well drilled for their facility.

·         Commercial business owners need a water reserve for whatever reason.

Irrigation Well Drilling

Irrigation wells are useful in both commercial and residential settings. If your lawn tends to dry out easily, due to your geographical location, an irrigation well could be the perfect solution. An irrigation well for a commercial property can be a little more extensive, but even more necessary. Companies that want a well-maintained landscape will need some type of irrigation system. By having an irrigation well installed, you can save a lot of money in the long run on your water bills.

Heat Pump Installations for Twin Cities Homes

How have you been weathering the Polar Vortex? With some record low temperatures, and no end in sight, you may be looking to upgrade the heat pump in your home. At Hartmann Well Drilling, we understand the position you’re in. When the weather is this cold, having the heat turned up is a necessity. For residents of the Twin Cities, heat pumps are an efficient way to provide warmth to your house. It may be hard to choose which heat pump is right for you, so in this blog we’re going to provide you with some tips.

Energy Efficiency

When we’re talking about heating a fairly sizable space, it is necessary to have a heating unit that provides excellent energy efficiency. If you don’t have one that works at maximum efficiency, you are throwing money away every time you use the heater. When you upgrade to a more modern heat pump, you are most likely going to improve your energy efficiency and save a few bucks.

Department of Energy Ratings

The Department of Energy has ratings in place for new model heat pumps. If you pay attention to these numbers while you’re choosing a new heat pump, it can provide you with useful information. When you take these ratings into consideration, you’ll be able to get a more apples-to-apples comparison on the units. The units that have the highest ratings will be the most efficient units available.

Choose an Appropriate Heat Pump

Choosing an appropriate heat pump for your Twin Cities home is another thing you need to be careful of.  If you buy a system that is too large, it will cycle on and off too much. If you buy a system that is too small, it will have to work too hard to keep your home warm. Find the system that is the perfect size for your home and begin to reap the benefits!
