Map of Geoexchange Systems in Ontario
Interesting Facts About Geoexchange
There are currently over 100,000 geothermal heating and cooling systems installed in Canada. Source
The Canadian Geoexchange Coalition has predicted that a 16% penetration of Ontario’s residential market by geothermal would result in a savings of 1,485,742 tons of eCO2, or the equivalent of removing 442,185 cars from the road. Source
Although up-front costs are often relatively high, the Pembina Institute reports that the payback of geothermal systems can range from immediate to 10 years depending on system size and type. Source
Geothermal systems have a long life expectancy. It is common for systems to carry warranties of 25 years and the ground loop alone often lasts upwards of 50 years. Source
About
This map was developed as a joint venture between Beatty Geothermal Inc and TRCA. It features information about geoexchange projects and links to case studies developed by TRCA and other organizations. The case studies tell the story of how the projects were developed and implemented, and document lessons learned during this process. In some cases, summary results of performance monitoring and an assessment of greenhouse gas emissions reductions are also provided.
Owners and suppliers of geoexchange systems are encouraged to populate the map with their own geoexchange projects. To enter information about a project, click the Add Your Location button above. For service or product suppliers who have information on a number of projects, please contact us to add your projects and logo to the site.
