The price of gas only seems to go up, along with everything else. Living in Canada, we don’t have the option to just turn the heat off, but we can turn the bill down.
With a geothermal system, you can decrease your gas bill while increasing the comfort of your home. Perfect for new builds, geothermal replaces your furnace, in-floor heating, air conditioner, boiler and water heater, keeping your home comfortable year-round without gas. And, it naturally increases the air quality in your home.
Live comfortably with geothermal.
We have geothermal heating and solar panels from Energy Smart! We've had maybe one issue in the two years and Rudy had the team out to fix the problem the next day! Would recommend them to anyone.
An antifreeze mixture is pumped through pipes buried deep in the ground.
The consistent temperature of the earth warms or cools the mixture to the consistent temperature (~10-15 C) under the ground.
❄️ In the winter, the liquid inside the pipes gathers heat from the ground. This liquid is pumped through a heat exchanger, where the heat is increased from the constant underground temperature and used to heat your home.
☀️ In the summer, the system is reversed and the excess heat from your home is transferred back into the ground via the mixture.
Then, an air pump brings fresh, outside air through a filter and the heat exchange unit filled with the antifreeze to warm or cool it to the right temperature. Because the system pumps fresh air in, your home doesn’t trap stale air or other contaminants.
We offer a 5 year warranty on all labour for an Energy Smart geothermal installation. We also offer a 5 to 10 year guarantee on parts for your geothermal setup.
The incentive landscape in Canada is always changing. To see how you can take advantage of incentives, rebates and interest-free loans, give us a call. We’ll walk you through what is available so you can be sure you have the right, up-to-date information.
We’ve installed geothermal in both small, residential lots as well as in large, rural acreages. If you have any questions about installing geothermal on your property, contact us for a free site inspection!
Your cost depends on the size of your home and your property. So while we can’t give you an idea here, you can call us for a free estimate today.
Geothermal systems contain many different parts, each with a different lifespan. But, the good news is that the pipes last indefinitely. The air pumps, which are quick and easy to replace, have a lifespan of 20-40+ years and far surpass the lifespan of a standard furnace.
A geothermal system works best in conjunction with solar energy when it can reduce your energy bill to zero. However, even when pulling energy from the grid, our compressors can save you money – especially in the summer as they are much more efficient than air conditioning units.
In the 20+ years we’ve been installing geothermal systems, we’ve never had to fix a leak. The pipes are well-protected to make sure they remain sealed for a long time.
Yes, the city of Lethbridge allows geothermal heating loops to be installed in residential areas, but does require a permit application before installation.
