Geothermal Heating

The Next Big Thing in Alternative Energy

Geothermal systems combine one unit of electrical energy with up to three to four units of “free” energy from the earth to heat and cool your home. Many home owners realize a saving of up to 75% on their heating, cooling and hot water bills.

In replacement instalation of Geothermal Systems, homeowners find that any added investment over the cost of an ordinary system is generally recovered in energy savings within a few years. Receiving up to $8500 in Grants shortens that recovery time considerably.

Because natural gas, propane or oil is not required to operate a geothermal unit, there is no combustion, flames or fumes to worry about. No unslightly outdoor units or wall penetrations for intake and exhaust venting.

According to Natural Resources Canada, a Geothermal System is the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool. With geothermal, there are no carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gasses which are considered to be major contributors to environmental air pollution and global warming.

Comparing the historical rise of the cost of electricity, propane, natural gas and crude oil over the last nine years shows that the cost of electricity has increased by only a fraction of the increase of natural gas, propane and heating oil. In fact the price of electricity has been decreased by about 9% in the last 12 months.
