More and more large-scale commercial projects are looking for energy efficient and environmentally-friendly options to meet their energy needs. Geothermal energy has been in existence for a long time and geothermal systems are one of the most cost-effective and efficient forms of energy systems. Recent technological advances in renewable geothermal technology have caused a growing demand for geothermal energy as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based energy sources.

Tapping the energy in the ground, Groundheat systems deliver more than units of heat energy for each unit of electricity purchased!

Cost-Effective Long Term Investment

With the ever-increasing cost of conventional fuels, the increased efficiency and lowered operational costs of geothermal systems using renewable earth energy make it an excellent long-term investment for commercial projects and has the lowest life-cycle cost. As pioneers in the industry since 1985, Groundheat has developed a long list of satisfied customers and put their name behind some landmark commercial projects.

One-Stop-Shop Service

Groundheat brings the world’s most energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning system to Canada’s building owners and designers in a complete one-stop service for its geothermal design and installation.
