“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!”

“I contacted Evolved Thermal Energy when we first started to consider switching from propane to geothermal heating. Jeff was able to show us the economics of converting to a ground source vs air source heat pump and answered any questions we had. Once our decision was made he helped us connect with a local installer and was there to answer any questions along the way.”

We Love Owen Sound And The Surrounding Area

The City of Owen Sound is situated in a valley beneath the limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment on the southern shore of Georgian Bay. Owen Sound also referred to as the Scenic City, has a large harbour and bay, flowing rivers, numerous parks and trails, tree-lined streets, and a bustling, historic centre. Inglis Falls, Harrison Park, Kelso Beach Park, and other conservation areas are notable natural landmarks. Around the city, the Bruce Trail wraps around the escarpment, linking waterfalls and exposing a variety of flora and animals, including uncommon ferns.
