SERVICE PLAN

Regardless of the initial quality of your HVAC system, all systems require a level of service to maintain equipment and ensure all components are in good working condition. Getting signed up on an annual service plan for your mechanical system can ensure your system is operating at its peak efficiency and save you in operating costs.  Having a yearly service completed on your system can catch issues before they happen; ensure your system is operating correctly so it won’t leave you in a pinch when your heating or cooling is required.

GEOTHERMAL HEATING AND COOLING

Help reduce pollution by installing a geothermal system in your home.Geothermal systems use a renewable resource – ground heat – which is efficient and non-polluting.  Replacing an average fossil fuel system with a geothermal system will immediately reduce your energy emissions by at least 50%.

THE HEAT PUMP

The heat pump is the heart to the geothermal system; however, the ground loop and distribution system are equally important. When the building requires heating, the fluid in the ground loop is circulated through the heat pump, where the heat is extracted from the fluid and transferred into the building. The fluid is then recirculated through the ground loop and returns back to the heat pump, warmed by absorbing the energy stored in the ground. To cool the building the heat pump works in reverse, extracting heat from the building warming the fluid as it passes through the heat pump, and storing the heat energy in the ground.  There are two main configurations of geothermal heat pumps: Water to Water (Hydronic) units, which create hot and chilled water for hydronic heating and chilling (In-Floor, Fan coils, Pools etc.), and Water to Air (Forced Air) units which create hot and chilled air, similar to a conventional furnace and air-conditioning unit.

BENEFIT

Geothermal systems have many benefits but the most important one is that a geothermal system has no pollutants, being a GREEN, CLEAN, RENEWABLE; HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM! Up to 70% of the normal household utility bill is for heating, cooling & hot water. Geothermal Heat Pumps help reduce this by as much as 80%.  The main benefits with a geothermal system are: Uniform comfort year-round and increased dehumidification during the hot summer months. Safe and clean as no flame, no flue, no odours, non-polluting and no danger of fire or fumes. Noise-free operation – no outdoor fans.
