Contact our Geothermal HVAC Technicians Today!
2020-2021 has been the ultimate year for home renovation projects, being that Ontario experienced three total lockdowns with stay-at-home orders in place. During this unexpected turn of events, businesses began sending their employees home with their work, causing the surge in home offices and remote working opportunities that we see prevailing today.
With the number of homeowners staying at home 24/7, the desire to improve their standards of living has been magnified! Individuals have begun renovating their kitchens, replacing their HVAC systems to the newest models, hiring local electricians to install outdoor lighting equipment, revamping their outdoor patio spaces, catching up on outdated plumbing needs, redesigning their home office spaces, restoring their indoor air quality etc.
The goal? To increase comfort, improve efficiency and provide safety within the home environment.
Now that we are halfway through July of 2021, renovation season is once again in full swing!
The focus has expanded this year, however, to include the importance of energy efficiency within the home’s daily operations as well- including central heating equipment, the water purification system, the air conditioning unit etc.
At Gravenhurst Plumbing, Heating and Electric, providing our customers with the best energy efficient air conditioner solution this summer is on the top of our priorities list. That’s why we offer the highest quality of Geothermal HVAC solutions to both our residential and commercial customers. This form of central cooling equipment actually eliminates the need to burn fossil fuels (ie. natural gas, oils, coal etc.) and provides a renewable form of energy production/usage.
What Is Geothermal HVAC?
Geothermal HVAC is the cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to central air conditioning. Regardless of where you live (ie. a cottage in Muskoka vs. a home in Bracebridge) geothermal HVAC technology has the ability to keep your home warm in winter, cool in summer and healthy for the environment - all at a reduced cost!
How Does Geothermal HVAC Work?
Geothermal HVAC units operate using the solar energy stored within the earth. Instead of transferring heat with the outdoor air, these HVAC systems actually exchange heat with the ground using an underground network of piping.
Did you know that outside air temperatures vary at different times of the day, as well as from season to season, while the temperature just a few feet underground maintains an average of 55°-70° F year-round?
That’s how this specific HVAC system allows year-round comfort!

Is Geothermal HVAC energy a renewable resource?
As mentioned, geothermal HVAC systems actually utilize the solar energy found beneath the earth’s surface. This energy is FREE, UNLIMITED, 100% RENEWABLE and increases the ENERGY EFFICIENCY of heating, cooling and hot water systems in a home!
These HVAC systems also do not emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or any other harmful greenhouse gases!
How Does Geothermal HVAC Affect The Environment?
Geothermal HVAC systems are actually good for the environment! Why? Because there is no combustion, flame or fumes emitted. There is also no possible chance of carbon-monoxide poisoning, because fossil fuels are not required to operate the system.
