Testimonials From Our Clients
Our firm has teamed up with WellSpring on several geothermal projects…The success of these projects lies in the expertise of WellSpring starting from the feasibility of utilizing geothermal for a particular site, to the design and integration into the overall building systems, to support during construction. WellSpring is my go-to consultant in the design of geothermal systems! Tim and his team bring impeccable service and knowledge to any project.
Our firm has been working with Tim Roos since 2007 as our go-to source for ground coupling and thermal geo-exchange design. WellSpring Geothermal has become a virtual partner and their work integrates seamlessly with our practice, allowing us to provide complete MEP documentation including the geothermal systems design on a timely basis.
We have worked with WellSpring on several projects…Tim was instrumental throughout the entire process from the feasibility of a geothermal system through its design and implementation. Geothermal systems can be very complex but Tim’s broad knowledge of everything, from the different types of systems to the permitting and regulations, was invaluable in making each project a success.
We have worked with WellSpring Geothermal on a number of commercial and residential systems and have found that their unique expertise in both geothermal design and integration with the building HVAC system adds considerable value to projects. Tim Roos’ passion for the work is evident in every project and he is a valued partner with our firm.
We have used WellSpring several times for designing the geothermal wells for an open loop geothermal system and found them to be very knowledgeable and completely professional. They provide very detailed drawings and are always there for us when we have questions in the field.
