Why Geothermal?

It’s a cold winter night, you are reading a book, watching TV, or maybe playing a family board game. The last thing on your mind is how much you are spending to keep your family warm and comfortable. Why? You have GeoSmart Energy.

It’s a hot summer day, you are out on the deck entertaining friends. It’s unusually comfortable inside your home yet there isn’t a noisy air conditioner disturbing your gathering. Why? You have GeoSmart Energy.

A Nipawin Geothermal system uses the Earth's thermal properties in conjunction with electricity to provide you with whole home space conditioning and unprecedented efficiency. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it provides four units of heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 400 percent efficiency rating, on average. These numbers can translate into real savings on your utility bills year-round. The secret of a Nipawin Geothermal system's clean, efficient operation is the earth's ability to store heat. In fact, almost 50% of the sun's energy that reaches our planet is absorbed into the earth. That's 500 times more energy than all of humanity would need in a year! And it's an unlimited source of energy.

Physically, the Nipawin Geothermal system resembles a conventional forced-air furnace located conveniently in your mechanical room. Specially designed for use in the cold Canadian climate, our geothermal systems extract heat from a series of closed loop pipes buried outside of your home and transfer it into your mechanical room directly to your Nipawin Geothermal unit. From there the system superheats the free energy and distributes it through the home by way of forced-air or infloor heating. In summer, the system simply reverses and extracts heat from your home for cooling and moves the heat to either your domestic hot water tank or into your closed loop pipes outside. Whatever the season, a Nipawin Geothermal System will keep your home as comfortable as you could ever imagine.

“Because it burns no fossil fuels, a Nipawin Geothermal heating and cooling system is the most cost-effective, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way to condition your home.”
Installing a Geothermal Energy system in a typical home is the environmental equivalent of planting 750 trees—or taking two cars off the road. That's because our systems don't burn fossil fuels.
