What is Geothermal?

Geothermal heating and cooling utilizes the natural balance of temperature fluctuations from the ground throughout the year.

Costs Made Simple

Our geothermal heating and cooling system works by exchanging thermal energy between the building and the ground. Ground source heat pumps are able to capture the thermal energy from the earth and transfer it into the building to provide an economical and environmentally friendly form of heating. On the cooling cycle, the ground source heat pumps cool the air by extracting the thermal energy from it and sinking it in the geothermal loop reservoir.

Utilize the Earth’s Energy

About 10 feet below the ground, the earth maintains a nearly constant temperature. We can tap into this energy reservoir by sinking a closed loop below the surface and filling it with an antifreeze. In the winter, we absorb the earth’s naturally warmer temperature through the closed ground loop and bring it to the surface. Using the ground source heat pumps, we can extract the thermal energy and circulate it through your building. In the summertime, the system extracts the thermal energy from the air, cooling the space.

Alternate Energy Is the Future

Pressure to switch isn’t going to decrease. In fact, the federal carbon tax is only continuing to increase, projected to reach $170/tonne by 2030. Because the average household produces 8.3 tonnes of carbon from heating, this will translate into $117/month added to your Enbridge bill. Since GeoEnergy uses a natural energy source, bills are cut by up to 75%.

Design and Ownership

Our suggestion is that each unit has an average of two dedicated ground loops, at 400 feet within its own footprint. This eliminates the need for centralized pumping stations and will reduce various complications. Further details of configuration will be coordinated with your project’s mechanical engineers.
