Explore our diverse geothermal projects across Edmonton, Leduc, Sherwood Park, and surrounding areas. Discover how we’ve tailored sustainable, energy-efficient geothermal solutions for various settings, showcasing our expertise and commitment to eco-friendly energy.”

1970's Retrofit

One of our favorite geothermal projects was retrofitting a 1970’s built home with geothermal heating and cooling. The owner’s goal was to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their year-round comfort.

What would you say set’s Envirotech Geothermal apart from other companies?

Geothermal Customer Val- “I gotta say, it’s the quality of the work! I’m very impressed with the components that have gone into the system. I think they (Envirotech Geothermal) focus on customer service more than a lot of other people. It’s an awesome experience with these people!”

The Basics of Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Click or hover over each image for more details. 

Start with House Plans
Every geothermal design starts with house plans, and heating load calculations. The building materials and R-values are input into a design software which will provide the heating loads in BTU/hr.
House Plans for geothermal
Common Horizontal Ground Loop
This is a common horizontal ground loop. Each trench contains 1200 linear feet of piping. The trenches are dug with an excavator and measure 300’ long x 6’ wide x 6-8’ deep.
Common Horizontal Ground Loop
Net Zero Ground Source Heat Pump system
Another Net Zero unit. This system replaces natural gas boilers and comes with a COP of 4.9 (Over 500% more efficient than natural gas!) This project located within Rocky View County near Calgary.

Truly Net Zero with Solar and Geothermal
Geothermal or solar, OR BOTH! Geothermal allows for you to omit your natural gas connection (AND BILL), and saves you money by leveraging the free temperatures from the earth. Solar is great to then offset your power bill. Ask us more about the solar companies we partner with!

What is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?

Vertical Ground Loop
Vertical ground loop header trench located in Strathcona County. Primarily, vertical ground loops are used for geothermal wells on small plots of land.
Vertical Ground Loop
Pit Ground Loop
Pit ground loop located near Barrhead, Alberta. These customers dreamed of having a swimming hole off their back deck, and heating their house with geothermal. What a dream property!
Pit Ground Loop
Pond Loop
Pond loop install near Slave Lake, Alberta. As water is a great conductor, if you’re planning to have a dugout that’s at least 12’ deep, a pond loop might be right for you. This ground loop was fused on the ground and dragged to it’s resting place by an excavator. Notice the rebar to help the ground loop sink to the bottom of the pond.
Pond Loop
Drilling Mud and Vacuums
Managing drilling mud is critical on urban projects as we don’t want the drilling mud to run down the streets and sidewalks. As a result, mud tanks and vacuum trucks are utilized to dispose of the mud. This project is located near Edmonton’s South Gate Shopping Mall.
Backfill and Leveling Yard
Customers always ask what their yard will look like post installation. Well, here it is! As you can see, we backfill the trenches and level your yard, the only thing left for you to do is plant grass seed, sod, or landscape. This home built in the 1940’s is located in Belgravia within Edmonton.
Backfill and Leveling Yard
Half the Yard gets Excavated
This is an example of a project completed in 2023 which shows the excavated space in the front yard. Moral is, we drill wherever your utilities are not present. Most ground loops can fit one half of the yard, leaving the other half available for soil stockpiling. This project is located in North Edmonton

Mattamy Homes Development
Envirotech completed the geothermal installations at Mattamy Homes’ development near Sherwood Park, Alberta.

What are Geothermal Heat Pumps and Geothermal Pipe?

GeoSmart NetZero Heat Pump
Considered the “Cadillac” of heat pumps, this Geosmart Net Zero system is capable of both Hydronic and Forced air heating AND cooling. It also efficiently generates domestic hot water while the unit is operating. As this is a variable speed, it runs for most of the day as it’s more efficient than starting and stopping multiple times. As a result, ample HOT WATER!
GeoSmart NetZero Heat Pump
Premium Q Retrofit
This Premium Q retrofit replaced a forced air furnace and boiler. You also get cooling with geothermal so essentially, this is 3 pieces of equipment in 1.
Premium Q Retrofit
Heat Pump Water Heater
Air source hybrid domestic hot water tanks are commonly used in our retrofit installations. These tanks allow for the domestic hot water to be indirectly heated using the geothermal heat from inside your home. These tanks are extremely efficient and are approved for us with government grants. No natural gas connection required!
Heat Pump Water Heater
U Bend Geothermal Pipe
U-bends on geothermal piping. These U-bends come fused and pressure tested from the factory. This project is located in Wainwright, Alberta
U Bend Geothermal Pipe
Tandem Truck Mounted Drilling Rig
This tandem truck-mounted drilling rig is common for geothermal drilling. Its width of 8’ will get into most spaces to drill. This photo is taken near a project in Uncas, Alberta.

How We Have Installed Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Cleanest Ground Loop Installation
Clean install alert! Our goal is to leave the workspace tidier than we found it. This Eco-Y replaces the need for a forced air natural gas furnace. Project located near Drayton Valley, Alberta
Cleanest Ground Loop Installation
Fill and Flush Geothermal Ground Loops
Flush cart being used to fill and flush the geothermal ground loop. The loops are filled with 30% per volume ethanol as freeze protection for the ground loop.

Stubby up a Ground Loop
Stubbing up the ground loop into a newly excavated basement. This project located near Vegreville, AB
Stubby up a Ground Loop
Geothermal Ground Pit Loop
Nothing better than a “Geothermal Sunset.” This project consisted of a pit used for the ground loop due to unstable soil conditions for the trenches. Located near Olds, AB
Geothermal Ground Pit Loop
Small Space for Heat Pump
We get asked all the time, how large is the heat pump? Our reply – It will fit inside a closet mechanical room. This 3-ton heat pump heats and cools a 950 sq ft residence just a couple of blocks from Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta.
Small Space for Heat Pump
Crimson Leaf Estates
We call this project the triple Net Zero as it consists of 3 Net Zero ground source heat pumps. This project is located in Crimson Leaf Estates just outside of Sherwood Park Alberta. This system is capable of 66kw output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Geothermal heating is silent and always available. Geothermal is also used to cool your home and not another unit taking up space in your yard and home.

Geothermal energy systems have fewer environmental impacts than fossil fuels. Geothermal heating and cooling is an efficient way to heat and cool homes and businesses that are too far from propane and natural gas lines.

A disadvantage is the high initial cost for individual households. The need for drilling and installing a specific system are additional costs. The return on your investment typically takes 2 to 5 years. Read more in our Blog Will energy efficient heat pumps save you money and build a sustainable future?

Your electric usage will increase with geothermal heating and cooling, but that additional cost won’t be divided equally throughout the year. Your electric bill will likely be lower in the summer than you paid previously. You’ll be spending less money overall than when heating with oil or propane.

“The 2022 Fall Economic Statement proposes a refundable tax credit equal to 30 per cent of the capital cost of investments in Low-Carbon Heat Equipment, including active solar heating, air-source heat pumps, and ground-source heat pumps. For additional incentives, read our blog Need money? In Canada, get low-interest financing for renewable energy upgrades. Geothermal heating and cooling is the most efficient, safe and effective way to heat and cool your home.
