Floating Home Project

British Columbia, Canada

Floating house on a body of water with a tugboat nearby, overcast sky, distant mountains.

During this project, a 4 Ton (HR) Geo Lake Plate heat exchanger was installed onto the side of a houseboat and "hardwired" to the HVAC system.

5 Benefits of Using Geothermal Systems for Floating Homes:

  1. Energy Efficiency: Geothermal systems are highly efficient and can provide both heating and cooling, reducing energy consumption and utility costs.

  2. Environmentally Friendly: Geothermal systems produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions and are considered a more eco-friendly heating and cooling option.

  3. Reliability: Geothermal energy is a constant and stable heat source, making it a reliable option for year-round comfort.

  4. Quiet Operation: Geothermal systems are quieter compared to traditional HVAC systems, which can be advantageous for a peaceful living environment on a floating home.

  5. Longevity: Geothermal systems are known for their long lifespan and require minimal maintenance.
