Efficient. Emissions-Free. Sustainable.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps tap into the constant temperature of the ground to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for your home. By using underground energy, these systems are up to 75% more efficient than traditional heating methods and operate with zero emissions.

Benefits of Geothermal Heat Pumps:

Flexible. Innovative. Affordable.

Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps extract renewable energy from the air to efficiently heat and cool your home. Perfect for properties where geothermal isn’t feasible, these systems provide a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps:

We may ask for photos of your existing HVAC equipment, property, and copies of your energy bills to best assist you.

Explore Energy Solutions

Our consultation ensures we have all the information to accurately model your current system and identify details to help develop specifications (project scope) for your new renewable thermal energy system. Whether you choose Geothermal or an Air Source solution, our team will work hand-in-hand with the installation contractor to prepare a proposal that meets the project requirements.

Technical Site Survey

A qualified contractor from our network will perform a technical site survey. They will assess the building, the exterior property, the mechanical design of the existing HVAC system and determine electrical system requirements. This final assessment is to confirm the installer won’t run into any unforeseen issues or additional expenses as they begin to install. The contractor will provide a final project quote upon completion of the site survey.

Your Evolved Thermal Energy System is Installed

If you are installing a Geothermal System, A loop installation contractor will excavate the space for your ground loops, install the piping, and fit them through the foundation into the home. Whether Air Source or Ground Source, the mechanical installer will be removing your existing furnace and fitting your new heat pump. The entire heat pump installation for an average project can be completed in just a few days. Where more substantial upgrades are required, this timeline may be extended. For Air Source Installation, timing may be shorter depending on the project.

After the heat pump installation is complete, relax and enjoy year-round comfort and energy efficiency!
