Geothermal Earth Loops

Ground Couplings for Ontario & Eastern Canada

Horizontal Loop System

Horizontal Loop System

Horizontal geothermal loops are a cost-effective and practical choice for residential installations, especially for properties with ample space. Unlike vertical systems, they don’t require drilling, which keeps installation costs lower, though horizontal-bore loops may use directional boring machines if necessary. Ideal for wider lots, these systems spread the loops across the land, utilizing available space efficiently. Additionally, horizontal loops are straightforward to maintain, offering easy access for inspection or any rare maintenance needs, making them a reliable and budget-friendly geothermal solution.

Vertical Loop System

Vertical Loop System

Vertical geothermal loop systems are a space-efficient solution, perfect for properties with limited horizontal area. By drilling boreholes up to 500 feet deep, they require significantly less land compared to horizontal systems. This depth also ensures stable performance, as the consistent ground temperatures improve efficiency and reduce the amount of piping needed. Additionally, vertical loops are less vulnerable to extreme weather, offering a reliable and durable geothermal heating and cooling solution for various climates.

Pond Loop System

Pond Loop System

Pond geothermal loop systems are a highly cost-effective and efficient option for properties near a pond or lake. By utilizing the water body for heat exchange, they eliminate the need for drilling or trenching, significantly reducing installation costs. The stable temperatures in water ensure excellent heat exchange and reliable system performance. Additionally, pond loops are yard-friendly, as they minimize land disruption, making them an eco-conscious and practical choice for geothermal heating and cooling.

“Purchasing a heating system for a home is not easy an easy task. I live on a 2 acre rural property near Peterborough and was in the market for a new heating system. I wanted to ensure that our new system helped us reduce our propane usage and was interested in exploring cold climate air source heat pumps and geothermal heating systems. Jeff played an invaluable role in helping me figure out the best heating system for our house. He simplified the complicated process of exploring Geothermal Heating Installations and also really helped me understand the heating demands of our home. Thanks so much for all of your help Jeff!”
