What is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy harnesses the natural energy stored in the ground to heat and cool your home. Using a well and a geothermal heat pump, it captures heat in winter and coolness in summer.
The result : an all-in-one system designed to provide consistent comfort year-round, with high performance and a perfect fit for Québec’s climate conditions.
The benefits of geothermal energy for your home
More and more homeowners are choosing geothermal energy for its performance and durability. A complete solution, right beneath your feet, that offers tangible benefits:
A durable, all-in-one solution
Heat and cool your home with a single system that replaces your existing equipment. The geothermal heat pump offers an extended lifespan (about 25 years), while underground components can last more than 50 years, making it a particularly durable solution compared with traditional air-source systems.
Significant savings
Thanks to its high energy efficiency, geothermal energy can substantially reduce your heating costs*. Depending on conditions and the type of home, savings can reach up to 60% compared with a conventional electric resistance heating system**.
Attractive grants
With Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program1, you could significantly reduce the installation cost of your system. If you are eligible, we deduct the grant directly from your quote, reducing your upfront investment and simplifying the process.
How much does geothermal energy cost, and what savings can you expect?
Here are illustrative examples to help you better understand the grants, installation costs, and potential savings based on the type of home:
Grant
For a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of approximately 2.5 tons, you could potentially receive up to $22,5001 in grants.
Costs2
Example: For a single-family home of approximately 110 m2 and built in 1980, the cost of installing a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of approximately 2.5 tons starts at $20,5003—including potential grants.
This example includes Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant, for which Énergir Solution Géothermie will handle the application process on your behalf.
Savings
In addition to grants, switching from a conventional electric heating system to geothermal heating, could save you money every year for the entire lifespan of your geothermal heat pump—approximately 25 years.
Grants
For a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of approximately 3 tons, you could potentially receive up to $27,0001 in grants.
Cost2
Example: For a single-family home of approximately 160 m2 and built in 1980, the cost of installing a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of about 3 tons starts at $21,0003—including potential grants.
This example includes Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant, for which Énergir Solution Géothermie will handle the application process on your behalf.
Savings
In addition to grants, switching from a conventional electric heating system to geothermal heating, could save you money every year for the entire lifespan of your geothermal heat pump—approximately 25 years.
Grant
For a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of approximately 4 tons, you could potentially receive up to $36,0001 in grants.
Costs2
Example: For a single-family home of approximately 205 m2 and built in 1980, the cost of installing a geothermal heat pump with a capacity of approximately 4 tons starts at $20,0003—including potential grants.
This example includes Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant, for which Énergir Solution Géothermie will handle the application process on your behalf.
Savings
In addition to grants, switching from a conventional electric heating system to geothermal heating could save you money every year for the entire lifespan of your geothermal heat pump—approximately 25 years.
