When done the right way, Geothermal Energy is a cost effective alternative to heating and cooling your home or business; while at the same time, it’s protecting our natural resources.  Having started as a water well drilling company, Kickapoo Drilling Company is concerned with future generations’ groundwater supplies, and that is why we use Propylene Glycol, food grade antifreeze in our geothermal systems.
