Can the technology be used effectively in the Canadian climate?
The extremes of Canada’s climate make it ideal for geoexchange. The temperature of the ground beneath the earth’s surface remains relatively constant throughout the year, even though the outdoor air temperature may fluctuate greatly with the change of seasons. This stable ground temperature allows geoexchange systems to use it as both a sink and a source, putting in heat in the summer, and taking it out in the winter. And because it does so much more energy efficiently than a furnace or an air conditioner, it is very cost effective.
