Hello 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.

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.
