What should I look for in an earth energy system (i.e., GeoExchange, geothermal, ground- or water-source heat pump)?
The system must meet the CAN/ CSA -C448 Design and Installation of Earth Energy Systems standard and it is also recommended that the equipment meet: • CAN/ CSA -C13256-1-01 Water-Source Heat Pumps Testing and Rating for Performance Part 1: Water-to-Air and Brine-to-Air Heat Pumps or • CAN/ CSA -C13256-2-01 Water-Source Heat Pumps Testing and Rating for Performance Part 2: Water-to-Water and Brine-to-Water Heat Pumps IMPORTANT: As of April 1, 2008, all eligible systems must be certified by the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition and therefore, drilled, designed and installed by professional(s) accredited by this coalition. From this date, the “GeoExchange System Certification Form” available from the Coalition will have to be used in replacement of the ” CSA 448 Design and Installation Compliance & Commissioning Report”. For more information on earth energy systems including a current list of accredited installers, designers, and drillers, please contact the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition or
