Indoor Pool done right with Geothermal in Halton Hills

We have had the pleasure of being involved with Poolscape and Open Aire on a project in Limehouse, Georgetown in the Halton Hills area in Ontario. This building boasts some of the most impressive style accents in the all tile pool, spa, and chill pool, almost all glass design with retractable roof, and a geothermal and state of the art Dryotron pool dehumidification system from JTH Best Engineering.

We are very excited to post some of the pictures in the next write up here and keep posted for an update!

Just Flying in for a Geothermal and Radiant Floor Heating Service Call from Sudbury to Temagami

It is not many times that the commute can be one of the most exciting part of an service call.

Flying to Geothermal Service call in Temagami

I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting one of the most honest, down to earth person from Sudbury, again.

We met at the National Home Show a few years back in Toronto and after he reviewed our work compared, he knew we were the Geothermal and Radiant Floor Warming contracting firm he wanted to work with. That was back in 2007. This year at the NationalHome Show, he popped by our booth and since he was delighted with our geothermal and radiant floor warming installation he wanted to see if we could assist him with another project at his cottage, his new industrial building and his Airplane hanger. How could we refuse!

A real testament to the Geothermal space is not talking to customers who just installed their system. Albeit I do like hearing about how different the air quality is, how much fresher the air is during cooling and heating, how quiet the system is, etc. However, a customer who has bought the system a while back and is still excited about their technology and system is another great feeling. It is especially true when they want more!

So in our trip we were able to visit some of the future sites for our work and visit the cottage which is still a work in with our heating systems for Radiant Floor warming and Geothermal Heating have been running smoothly it was clear skies ahead!

New Geothermal Drilling Rig for Vertical Drilling

Vertical drilling with style!

I was driving by GeoSmart yesterday and (safely) slammed on the brakes!

I just had to turn my truck into their parking lot to witness the initial calibrations of the new geothermal vertical drilling rig. We’ve all been waiting on this machine for what seems like ages. I stand by my first review with Stephen Marco, this tool seems to have all the bells and whistles that will make it an effective rig to service our vertical drilling clients.

Urban single family residential geothermal has been a relatively untouched market and has been eclipsed by larger, commercial or multi residential projects. In the capable hands of GeoSmart I’m convinced that there ‘ll be increased activity in this important sector of alternative energy. Zonelife Inc is excited to be a part of it.

Zonelife has recently used vertical geothermal heating systems for installation applications such as Indoor Pools, Chill Pools and Spas, and Radiant Floor Warming.

GeoSmart advances the market Vertical Drilling for Geothermal

This new rig is remote controlled, and has a slightly smaller foot print. Its miles ahead of most rigs in its ability to drill. From its rod loading system, to its drives, and its control station, it has all the right components to for almost all vertical drilling situations.

Geothermal Installers Sponsors Lenzr photo Contest

The Fire and Ice photo contest on Lenzr.com is a very cool idea for a hot competition.

We selected this theme to allow participants to properly showcase their ‘fire photography’ skills, and it also helps them think about geothermal energy.

On Saturday Feb 27th 2010 I met Rob Campbell the Smojoe at the 2010 National Home Show at the ZoneLife display in the Better Living Centre in Toronto.

At Zonelife we are always looking for new ways to get the message out about geothermal heating and cooling systems. After a brief discussion with Rob about social media marketing, keywords, blogging and link building, I decided to give it a whirl, and give my website a much needed ’shot in the arm’.

Lenzr is a serial photo contest website in which the participants pick the winner. The message tends to travel virally as the users encourage friends to vote for their pictures on the index.

Geothermal heating and cooling is cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home. Recent technological advances have dramatically expanded the range and size of viable residential units especially for applications such as home heating, and in particular floor heating.

The Prize is GeoAir PCO air purifier

Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) is perhaps the most advanced air purifying technology available today. And unlike existing air cleaning systems that rely solely on ultraviolet light, the GeoAir PCO device 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 don’t stand a chance and are destroyed when they come into contact with the system’s 187 square-inch Ti02 grid. All volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) are destroyed. The system is cost-effective, maintenance-free and provides maximum energy efficiency with negligible resistance to airflow.

Also on Lenzr this month,

Particpants could win a 10x pop-up tent plus $500 gift certificate courtesy of a Toronto party rentals business.

Or win a state-of-the-art AT&T model #1070 phone from this business phones provider in Markham Ontario.
