You can always buy a cheaper system, but you can't buy a better system backed by the most knowledgeable technicians in Pembroke and the surrounding area. With a coefficient (COP) of over 5 on the NEW PremiumG, every unit of energy you put into the furnace results in 5 units of energy delivered into your home. Who better to install your new GeoSmart furnace than MacKinnons? They are experts in soil conditions and fluid pumping which are major factors in the heat pump operations.

Types of Loop Systems

There are several loop configurations available. They can either be vertical, horizontal, or submerged in a nearby pond or lake. In many cases, a water well can be used instead. The best application will depend on the characteristics of your property. We can help you determine which system is best for your property.

How Does it Work?

The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographic location. Working with an underground loop system, geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize this constant temperature to exchange energy between your home and the earth as needed for heating and cooling.

In winter, water circulating inside a sealed underground loop system absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm air to your indoor system for circulation throughout your home.

In the summer, the system reverses and expels heat from your home into the cooler earth via the loop system. This heat exchange process is not only natural, but is a natural and highly efficient way to create a comfortable climate in your home.

HORIZONTAL LOOPS	Horizontal loops are the most common type of loop system, and are commonly used in rural areas due to the land space needed for installation. An excavator will dig several trenches about six feet deep in the ground, each one up to 300 feet long. GeoSmart Energy's green geothermal pipe is placed in the trenches which are then backfilled with soil.
VERTICAL LOOPS	Vertical loops are primarily used in urban areas because they require little land space for installation. A specially designed geothermal drilling rig bores vertical holes into the ground each ranging from 180 to 540 feet deep. Geothermal pipe is inserted into each vertical bore and then the holes are filled with bentonite grout.
POND LOOPS	On properties that have a nearby lake or pond that is appropriate in size and eight feet deep, a loop system can be submerged at the bottom of the body of water. A single trench is excavated from the home to the water and typically two pipes are inserted into it. These two pipes connect to several green geothermal pipes that are submerged at the bottom of the lake or pond.
OPEN LOOPS	Open loops are most commonly used on rural properties that have existing high capacity water wells. Ground water is withdrawn from an aquifer through a supply well and pumped into the heat pump, while discharged water from the heat pump is redirected into a second well and back into same the aquifer.

The air you breathe each day can have a profound impact on the health of you and your family. On average, people spend close to 90% of their time indoors, whether at home, at work, at school or in leisure activities. While you have little control over the environmental pollutants you’re exposed to outdoors, you can significantly improve the quality of the air that you and your children breathe in your home.
Fuel-burning appliances, biological pollutants (i.e. dust, mold) and household products can all contribute to poor air quality in your home.
To help you create the healthiest possible environment for you and your family, GeoSmart Energy offers an exceptional line of products designed to generate cleaner air in your home. Talk to your GeoSmart dealer about the clean air solution that will best meet your family’s needs.

PCO (PhotoCatalytic Oxidation)
GeoSmart’s GeoAir PCO, is one of the most advanced air purifier technologies available today. Unlike existing air cleaning systems that rely solely on ultraviolet light, the PCO integrates a titanium dioxide semiconductor to leverage photocatalytic oxidation allowing it to vaporize indoor air pollutants, including those that cause odors, and break them down into non-toxic products like C02 and H20. Bacteria, viruses, mold spores and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) are destroyed when they come into contact with the system’s 187 square-inch Ti02 grid. The system is cost-effective, maintenance-free and provides maximum energy efficiency with negligible resistance to airflow

Electrostatic Air Filter
GeoSmart’s GeoAir Electrostatic Air Filter is the benchmark for high quality air filtration. Unlike other filters that are capable of trapping up to 80% of air pollutants, our electrostatic air filter effectively eliminates 95% of common household pollutants, including allergens that contribute to asthma and allergy symptoms.
