Clyde's Well Service, Inc. has operated in Milton, Florida since 1982, led by President Charles "Mike" Ward who took over from the founding family. The company holds two Florida DEP well contractor licenses (#3124 and #3272) — the most license-transparent driller of the Florida group — and is a Water Systems Council member. The dedicated geothermal page at /geothermal specifies closed-loop installation with pipe specs: "geothermal loops are coils of normally ¾" or 1" piping inserted into the ground to depths of 250'–300' to use ground water source for cooling and heating." Service area covers Santa Rosa, Escambia, and North Okaloosa Counties in Northwest Florida, extending into South Alabama. Team has 62+ years of combined well-drilling and pump-installation experience. Editorial note: originally classified HOLD by Stream A discovery — re-imported under broader policy per Lesson #10 (HOLD bucket was over-classified). Stream A concern: dedicated geothermal page with specific loop pipe specs and depth information, two explicit FL DEP license numbers, Water Systems Council membership — but no HVAC partner firms named, no project portfolio with photos, and no IGSHPA/NGWA cert. Editorial verification recommended on: recent project count and HVAC partner names.
Florida-licensed well driller since 1982 with FL DEP licenses #3124 and #3272, specializing in closed-loop geothermal well construction to depths of 250-300 feet.

Do I need a permit for geothermal drilling in Florida?add

In Milton's climate, a properly maintained system provides reliable heating and cooling with minimal degradation. Annual professional maintenance and filter changes every 3 months help maximize system lifespan.
