The Hayter flagship

Geothermal that pays for itself

A geothermal heat pump moves heat from the ground, delivering about five units of energy for every one unit of electricity it uses. That is roughly 500% efficiency, and most homeowners cut their heating, cooling, and hot-water costs by around 70%.

The Hayter Group has been installing and servicing geothermal systems across Southwestern Ontario for more than four decades. As a WaterFurnace dealer, we design horizontal and vertical ground-loop systems sized to your property, your home, and your heating load, not a one-size package off a truck.

Because there is no combustion, there is no carbon monoxide, no greenhouse gas on site, and no outdoor condenser making noise through the night. The unit lives indoors, runs quietly, and handles heating, cooling, and a good share of your hot water from one system.

With current provincial and federal rebates and interest-free financing, the payback on a geothermal system often lands inside three to five years for the right property. We size the loop, run the savings math, and handle the rebate paperwork.

How ground-source works

Steady ground temperature, all year

A few feet below the surface, the ground stays at a steady temperature year-round, warmer than the winter air above it and cooler than the summer air. A geothermal system circulates fluid through a buried loop field to pull heat out of the ground in winter and reject heat back into it in summer.

Because it is moving heat rather than burning fuel, the same system heats the home in winter, cools it in summer, and can produce a large share of domestic hot water. There is no outdoor condenser, so the unit runs quietly indoors with nothing to freeze, rattle, or degrade outside.

We design horizontal loops where property allows and vertical drilled loops where lot size or soil calls for it, and we size the field to your real heating load, not a generic package.

Case study

Six Nations Polytechnic

A large-scale geothermal installation that shows what a ground-source system can do at commercial scale.

The Hayter Group has installed geothermal across homes, farms, and institutional buildings across Southwestern Ontario, including a major ground-source system at Six Nations Polytechnic. Projects like that are where loop design and load experience earn their keep.

Geothermal questions

What homeowners ask about geothermal

How efficient is geothermal?

A geothermal heat pump moves heat rather than generating it, delivering about five units of heat for every one unit of electricity used. That is roughly 500% efficiency, compared to a high-efficiency furnace that tops out near 98%.

How much can I save with geothermal?

Most homeowners cut their heating, cooling, and hot-water costs by around 70%. Exact savings depend on your current fuel, your home, and your loop field, which is why we start with a free evaluation and a real savings estimate.

How long until a geothermal system pays for itself?

With current provincial rebates and interest-free financing, payback often lands inside three to five years for the right property. We run the numbers for your home before you commit.

Is there combustion or carbon monoxide with geothermal?

No. A geothermal system uses electricity and refrigerant to move heat from the ground, so there is no combustion, no carbon monoxide, and no greenhouse gas produced on site.

Do you handle the geothermal rebate paperwork?

Yes. Geothermal retrofits qualify for the Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program and the Canada Greener Homes Loan, among others. We size and install the system and complete the paperwork so the incentive is straightforward for you.
