Directional Drilling
by Buchanan & Hall
What is Directional Drilling?
Directional Drilling offers a smart, efficient alternative to traditional ground loop and utility installation methods.
Unlike trenching or excavation, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is ideal for areas where above-ground obstructions make conventional methods costly or impractical.
HDD allows precise underground drilling that navigates around obstacles, creating a pathway for geothermal pipes or utility conduits with minimal disruption to the site.
Safe, Proper Directional Drill Operation
Since 2009, Buchanan & Hall has expertly utilized directional drilling to install geothermal pipes, water lines, and electrical services. Our advanced drilling technique minimizes disruption to lawns and landscaping, enabling homeowners to install geothermal ground loops without the need to relocate obstacles above or below the surface.

Customer Testimonials
I would recommend Buchanan & Hall because of the people. Without a doubt, you can be assured that the culture at Buchanan and Hall will mean everyone from the company makes sure you get what you need, and have it done professionally.
The next home I build will include Buchanan and Hall from the beginning for sure. The crew were respectful and kind. The house was left clean and all garbage removed by the crew. Everyone was polite and they didn't mind working around my large pets.Geothermal Customer - Mitchell, ON
This company is amazing to deal with. I made an inquiry by phone. The lady I spoke to was so courteous and efficient, taking time to gather detailed information on what was required, and advising she would call us back with pricing and dates. She was true to her word and called back very promptly answering all our questions and a service date was scheduled. The service did not stop there - the service tech. was also courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. After changing filters and checking the Hepa system, he also checked the HRV system. As we are fairly new to this home and did not know much about the HRV system, this gentleman took time to explain settings and how to make it work more efficiently for us. We already feel the benefit of fresher, cleaner and more breathable air due to the invaluable information he provided. In this day and age where it seems difficult to get good service, this company excels at it and made us feel valued. We would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when service is next required.

I would like to thank you and all of your employees involved in my geothermal experience. Every aspect, from the initial consultation to B&H participation in the open house, was professional, friendly, honest, courteous and of course, knowledgeable.

We chose Buchanan & Hall to install new refrigeration units. We also had them install new fans, a condenser system, line the butcher shop walls with insulation and install a coil, plus upgrade the walk-in refrigerators and freezer. Excellent service, workmanship and company integrity as they helped remove the old units, ran new water and drainage lines, and made sure everything worked perfectly once the new units were installed.

Geothermal Customer - Lakeside, ON
Thanks again for staying very on late on a Friday evening to repair our WaterFurnace. Without your determination and stamina, we might still be dealing with our unrepaired unit. The unit is working very well again. Take care and best regards.

Thanks for dealing with my heat pump before the warm summer. And thanks to Patrick and Dylan for installing it. I’m glad to know that when hot days arrive, I’ll be ready.
