Home & Business
Geothermal systems fit into your life, no matter where you are.
Residential: Geothermal for your family
For over 30 years, families have enjoyed the savings and comfort of geothermal home energy systems. With over one million systems installed worldwide, geothermal energy is quickly becoming the number one choice for discerning families.
GREAT SAVINGS FOR YOUR FAMILY
An average-sized home converted to a geothermal system from oil or electricity will cut heating and cooling costs by about 70%. If propane heating is replaced with a NextEnergy system, the savings are even better, at approximately 80%. Over the long-term, with rising energy prices, your investment in geothermal gets better and better.
GEOTHERMAL LIVING COMFORT
One of the surprising qualities of geothermal is that it creates a more comfortable living environment than a traditional system. Our systems do not rely on combustion which creates intense, high-temperature heat, so they can maintain indoor temperatures much more precisely all day long. You will avoid uneven hot or cold spots in your home, sudden blasts of heat, and unpleasant dryness. During the summer, you will stay cool without a noisy outdoor air conditioner.
Geothermal systems are completely safe. And with expected life spans of 20 to 30 years, they are designed with long-term reliability and service in mind.
Commercial: Geothermal for your business
AN EXPANDING HORIZON
Commercial buildings, due to their large size and complex operation, are generally much less efficient to heat and cool than residences.
Yet with the application of geothermal technology and engineering skill, the gains in savings are tremendous. When a geothermal system is combined with a program of tight load balancing (redistributing waste heat), and other measures instituted by design experts, buildings can substantially reduce their annual heating and cooling costs. Geothermal has been applied to such varied commercial projects as wineries, distribution facilities, grocery stores, office buildings, and apartment complexes.

A COMMERICIAL EXAMPLE: NEXT ENERGY’S COMMITMENT
NextEnergy’s 25,000 sq. ft. national headquarters in Elmira, Ontario is a showcase of geothermal technology and heating and cooling efficiency. Reduction from standard heating and cooling costs for a building of its size have been greatly reduced, estimated at an 85% savings.
