GeoThermal/Geo-Exchange
A Geothermal system uses the earth's energy storage capability to heat and cool buildings and provide hot water.
If you are looking at saving money long term, being environmentally friendly and breathing clean air in your home; a geothermal system is for you. It uses clean renewable energy which burns no fossil fuels and cuts your personal emission by up to 85%.
Geothermal systems are the most advanced, efficient, adaptable cost effective heating and cooling systems in the world today. Europe has been installing these systems for over 50 years and across North America for the past 30 years.

Benefits of GeoThermal (or Geo-Exchange)
Cost
- Monthly Savings: Monthly mortgage payments will increase with a Geothermal system, but utility bills will decrease even more. The average homebuyer can save between $50 to $100 per month from the first month they live in their new home.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Geothermal systems require very little maintenance, needing only regular filter changes (just like a furnace) and periodic checks. Since the loop is buried underground very little stress is placed on it, making it essentially maintenance-free.
Comfort
- More Comfortable: Geothermal systems generate a more even heat than conventional systems in the winter, and have better humidity control in the summer. This means a more comfortable home environment than with any other equipment on the market.
- Quiet: All equipment is inside the home, so there is no noisy air conditioner outside. Homeowners can have a comfortable inside temperature and still enjoy the peace and quiet of their backyard
Energy Efficiency and the Environment
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions: Geothermal systems work by moving heat, not generating it through combustion. They don't emit carbon dioxide, the biggest culprit in climate change. GHG emissions are reduced by up to 85%
- No Ozone Layer Depletion: The heat pumps used with the Geothermal systems use R-410A refrigerant, which is non-toxic and doesn't contribute to depletion of the ozone layer.
Health and Safety
- Because Geothermal systems do not burn fossil fuels they:
- Create absolutely no indoor air pollution, a health concern for homeowners
- Remove all risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from the heating system
- Reduce the risk to the homeowner of fires
