questions
What are the advantages of geothermal energy compared to other energies?
Geothermal energy has several advantages, including:
• Optimization of energy costs: A significant reduction in heating and air conditioning costs.
• Sustainability and environmental friendliness: Renewable energy source with low CO emissions2 reduced.
• Safety and reliability: Systems requiring little maintenance and offering stable operation over the long term.
• Access to grants and tax incentives: Several programs allow you to finance the installation.

What are the timeframes for carrying out geothermal drilling?
Drilling a geothermal well can take about 4 days, depending on the site challenges. Installing the heat pump takes about 3 days. If a pool heating system is included, the project can extend to a week.
What grants can I get for a geothermal project?
Several grant programs are available, including:
• LogisVert from Hydro-Québec, intended for new constructions and existing residential buildings.
• Analysis Component Program, which allows for the financing of energy studies.
• OSE and EcoPerformance programs, which support energy optimization projects.

How long does it take to install a geothermal system?
The entire process, from drilling to installing the heat pump, typically takes between 7 and 10 days, depending on the complexity of the project.
How much does a geothermal system cost?
The cost of a geothermal system varies depending on the heat pump model chosen and the specifics of the installation. Different ranges exist, offering levels of performance and control adapted to the energy needs of the building. It is also possible to add options, such as the “Symphony” system for advanced control, for an additional cost.
