Avoiding Fossil fuels with Geothermal

“Not burning fossil fuels is a big step towards trying to curb climate change,” says John Gordon, a fine home builder in Mulmer township, near Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

“I like that the AC is quiet and very gentle. Its not a blast of cold air,” says his wife Mary (MK) Lynda, a local optician. “We’re using energy out of the earth to heat and cool the house rather than other energy. So we’re not burning oil and we’re not burning propane.”

Mary and John have been in Mulmer for six years. John wanted a little more space for equipment and vehicles, so he built a larger house. In the new house he had geothermal installed. It’s a five-ton system driven by a WaterFurnace heat pump, for a 3400 square foot dwelling. They also burn a little firewood in their fireplace. John says the total monthly cost for the firewood and power is $309.
