Federal Grant for Geothermal Installation is Back! $4,375

Geothermal Grant is Back!

Geothermal Grant is Back!

As experienced Geothermal installers Zonelife is happy to announce that the Grant for Geothermal installations has returned in the amount of $4,375.

The grant is active from June 6th, 2011 to March 31st 2012. Geothermal also know as ground source heat pumps use the temperature of the earth to heat or cool your home with little to no geoimpact on the area in which it is installed.

To be eligible for the Geothermal installation grant the geothermal system must be installed by a company qualified by the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition (CGC). Zonelife is qualified by the CGC and made numerous installations during the last geothermal incentive program.

All geothermal system installations by Zonelife were approved by the CGC and the customers were approved for the geothermal grant.

Zonelife ground or water source earth-energy systems (geothermal systems) are the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home emitting no greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide. Our Zonelife Geothermal team will design, install and service a geothermal system that operates exceptionally quietly with precise distribution of heating and cooling throughout your home.

Consider how you are currently heating your home. Perhaps you are using natural gas, electric, propane or oil? Replacing any of these sources with a geothermal install will result in immediately lowering your monthly expenses by up to 70%.

The government is becoming increasingly conscious of both preserving the environment and reducing the burden of high energy costs to help homeowners which is why they have brought back the geothermal grant.

Zonelife is experienced with quality geothermal installations and has the happy customers to prove it. We use only the most energy efficient units and experienced professionals to ensure you reach your maximum energy efficiency.

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

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!

Let Me Introduce Myself, I’m Steve Hamoen

ZoneLife, logo for Ontario geothermal heating and cooling design and installation businessHello my name is Steve Hamoen, and I’m a geothermal installation expert based in southern Ontario.  I’m the President of Zonelife Inc, founded Jan 2007 to provide home owners with cost effective heating and cooling alternatives through configurable, engineered, hydronic solutions.

You might remember me from Burlington Centaurs Rugby, or the Toronto Multi Hull Sailing Club? If I am not with my son, wife, friends and family, you’ll find me sailing my 24′ shark around. If we’re friends I expect you to comment on the blog, and say ‘hello’.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been involved in the HVAC industry. My father, Jake Hamoen, is the President and Founder of JTH Best Engineering, which has been around since 1988.  We have a very active working relationship today; he helps design many of our projects.

Steve Hamoen from Zone Life at Toronto Home Show in Better Living Center Feb 28th In the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on some of the largest homes in Canada.  These HVAC (Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning) challenges have certainly opened my eyes to some of the best hydronic design for floor warming, and the many ingenious ways to integrate geothermal with indoor pools, gas boilers and geothermal heating masterpieces.

This blog is my professional journal in which I’ll share insights into recent advances in geothermal technology, and the unique innovations that I encounter as the director of Geothermal Installers.  Subscribe to my RSS feed for snapshots of our projects, staff and procedures. This portal will show our signature approach to geothermal heating and cooling in pictures and links.
