Geothermal Heat Pumps in Ontario
Are you looking for a geothermal heat pump for your home in Ontario?
At Bryan’s Fuel, we specialize in the installation and maintenance of geothermal heat pumps for homes across Southern Ontario. Geothermal heating and cooling systems use the natural energy of the earth to regulate the temperature of your home, offering a safe and environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional heating systems.
Geothermal systems work by running a ground loop of pipes through the earth on your property. This piping loop extracts or deposits heat into the ground and cycles the energy back through your home’s HVAC system, in order to provide hot or cold air to accommodate your needs.
Talk to the team at Bryan’s Fuel to learn more. We would be happy to provide a no obligation quote for the installation of a geothermal heat pump.
The Benefits of Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems
You own your land — why not take advantage of the free energy potential that it has to offer? Geothermal heating systems offer a range of benefits, including reduced monthly costs, lower environmental footprint, and better safety for your family and your property.
Safe & Leak-Free
Provide your family with a safer living environment. Geothermal energy eliminates the possibility of natural gas, propane, or oil leaks into your home, basement, or backyard.
Eliminate Emissions
Reduce your carbon footprint with a switch to geothermal energy. Geothermal power produces no emissions — which means that you don’t have to worry about CO or CO2 in your home.
Go Sustainable
Geothermal energy is fully sustainable and available anywhere. The installation of a single geothermal system is comparable to planting an acre of trees or removing 4 cars from the road.
Reduce Monthly Costs
Geothermal systems offer increased efficiency, lower electricity consumption, and low maintenance costs, when compared to both conventional and alternative energy systems.

What is Geothermal Energy?
Geothermal energy is the natural energy of the Earth. With the right HVAC equipment, this natural energy can be harnessed to provide dependable heating and cooling for homes, businesses, and more.
Did you know that the Earth’s core is over 4,000 degrees Celsius? This heat radiates outward from the core and heats the upper layers of the Earth’s crust, typically ranging between 6-11 degrees Celsius depending on the season.
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are able to extract energy from the upper layer of the Earth in any climate. When properly installed, the energy generated by these systems offers reliable heating and cooling throughout the year.

How Geothermal Energy Works
As we mentioned above, geothermal energy is drawn from the natural heat of the Earth. The core of the Earth is very hot, and this heat can be felt even just a few feet beneath the Earth’s surface. Geothermal energy uses and optimizes the heat that the core is constantly and naturally producing.
What Does Your System Include?
Geothermal heating and cooling systems consist of two main components: an underground piping system that runs underneath your property, and an internal HVAC system within your house.
The underground piping system, often referred to as the “loop” is responsible for generating the energy, while the HVAC system distributes it in the same way as a conventional heating and cooling system. The loop uses water to transfer heat energy from under the earth’s surface to your home.
Energy can be found anywhere in the world and from 10 feet to a few hundred feet underground.So how exactly does geothermal heat from the Earth turn into warm air in your home, or even air conditioning?
How Does Heating Work?
During the winter months, the ground is warmer than the air above. The ground loop circulates water through the piping to extract the heat from the ground. This heat energy is absorbed into the water, transferred through a thermal exchange unit, and then converted into hot air to be distributed to the rest of your house.
Your home’s heat pumps take the warmth from the water and distribute it through your home’s duct system, just like the heat produced by a furnace. It’s that simple. Heat is transferred from the earth to your home!
How Does Cooling Work?
Knowing that geothermal heat is essentially warmth that has been moved, you may be wondering how that will help you in the summer. During warmer months, a geothermal system will take heat from your home and put it into the loop.
In the summer, the reverse process takes place. Your HVAC system pumps hot air into the thermal exchange unit, which transfers the heat to the water in the ground loop. As the water travels back through the loop, the heat that started in your home is absorbed back into the earth.
Since the heat is gone, we are left with cool water. The cool water travels through the loop back towards your home and is processed into cool air. This air is distributed through air conditioning units throughout your home.
The best part about geothermal energy is that the earth’s core is always producing heat, so there’s no shortage. If you’re interested in using the energy your land is producing or want to learn more, we would be happy to answer any of your questions!
