Take a look at the article of ottawacitizen.
Art Hunter provided his rural Manotick neighbors with electricity to power their fridges, freezers, cellphones, electric kettles, etc.
He created power at home through solar panels and used geothermal energy for heating and cooling.
As it is an expensive technology to install initially, people tend to ask for the factors that can decrease the performance of a geothermal system.
These factors may affect the system.
• Dirty air filters (fixed by cleaning the air filters)
• Air trapped in the ground loop (fixed by purging the ground loop)
• Declining antifreeze levels (fixed by adding more antifreeze to the loop)
• Mis-setting the thermostat (human error – fixed by setting the thermostat at the correct temperature)
• Dropping water table or increased mineral content in the groundwater
The management and staff from Ontario Geothermal Association wish you a Happy Victoria Day.
The benefits of a Geothermal System are:
Less Maintenance,
Environmentally Friendly,
Lower Utility Bills,
Waste heat removed from the property in the cooling season can be used to provide free hot water,
Safer to occupants as CO potential sources are removed.

The cost depends on the type of system you choose.
The initial installation cost is higher than a conventional HVAC system, but the operation costs are far lower. You can choose closed or open loop, and it can use forced air, hydronic baseboard or radiant floors for distributing heating and cooling within the building.

There was a time when heat pumps were considered a novel technology. Nowadays things have changed, it is a common topic that is being discussed on television, radio, and mainstream press outlets.
Although the price tag on heat pumps is higher than the boilers, a group of people is still ready to get them installed sooner than later.
What do you think? Let us know.
