Geothermal Design & Installation

from Buchanan & Hall

The Smartest Way to Heat & Cool

Geothermal systems — also known as ground source heat pumps — heat and cool your home or building by using the stable temperature underground. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that burn fuel, geothermal systems transfer heat to and from the earth, making them one of the most energy-efficient and reliable ways to stay comfortable all year. Whether you’ve heard it called geo heating and cooling, geo-thermal heating and cooling, or even an underground heating and cooling system, it’s the same smart, sustainable solution.

At Buchanan & Hall, we design and install custom geothermal heating and cooling systems for homes, farms, and businesses across Ontario. If you’re looking for a geothermal heating and cooling contractor near you, look no further. Our expert team has over 40 years of experience delivering systems that are built to last.

Types of Geothermal Ground Loops

Horizontal Trench Loops

  • Land size dependant based on design
  • Trenches range from 100 – 300 ft long
  • Polyethylene pipes inserted into trench (approx. depth 5 ft)
  • Trenches dug & backfilled using excavator
  • Typical home requires ¼ to ¾ of an acre for trenches

Directionally Drilled (Horizontal Bore) Loops

  • Land size dependant
  • Ground Loop can avoid disrupting surface & subsurface obstructions on site
  • Double pipe connected by U-bend inserted inside horizontally bored holes
  • Depth of holes dependant on soil conditions & system size
  • Digging only required for header trench where pipes join
  • B&H is the only contractor in Ontario with their own directional drilling equipment

Vertically Drilled Loops

  • Useful where space is limited
  • Requires drilling rig for multiple holes
  • Double pipe connected by U-bend inserted down multiple drill sites
  • Depth of holes dependant on soil/rock condition & system size
  • Only digging required is for header trench where pipes join

Open Loop (Water Well) System

  • Requires abundant supply of well water
  • Discharge well such as a stream or pond required
  • Potentially the most cost-effective option up front, if well equipment requirements are met.
