Government Links:

“A single efficient system can be used for both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate furnace and air-conditioning systems. It can also heat water at no additional cost.”

“Earth-energy systems will reduce your heating and cooling costs substantially. Energy-cost savings compared with electric furnaces are around 65 percent.”

“Installing a geothermal heat pump system can be a smart way to save energy and money.”

“The biggest benefit of GHPs is that they use 25%–50% less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems….According to the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency], geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption—and corresponding emissions—up to 44% compared to air-source heat pumps and up to 72% compared to electric resistance heating with standard air-conditioning equipment.”

Grants and Incentives:

“Property owners can qualify for federal grants by improving the energy efficiency of their homes, and reducing their home's impact on the environment.” (Natural Resources Canada)

“Natural Resources Canada has already established grant amounts for a variety of residential retrofits that improve a home's energy efficiency. By far the largest single grant offered through the program is $3,500 for any homeowner who installs a ground-source heat pump system.”
