Geo-thermal heating a cooling is the most efficient because it works day and night and the most efficient way to utilize it is to have a solar array with a proper battery back up driving it along with your fridge and a few other things like the air blower . More information to follow.
But it is better to put it into a new house
No need to call, just book me in on line and for 75.00 I will tell you if Geo-thermal is an option for you. I will come with an energy expert to take a good look at your house and see what we can do to save energy and costs. We are so sure we can make a difference that if you do not save the 75.00 you pay me in one year from the recommendations we give you. after implementing them, that I will give you your money back.

The final solution, can't be sold. The ideas must be given away but I will connect myself with some good builders and if you really want a well built house, then contact me. Why do I bother? To really help a lost humanity.
Very lost. They need help.
Any kind of a house in Canada old or new is a money pit when it comes to heating or cooling it. Even with the latest EL-CHEAPO TECHNOLOGIES HERE IN CANADA it is still not good enough. What's worse is the Government of Canada endorses these types of technologies which is Haynes to say the least. But there are still lots of things you can do in this "energy inefficient house." Book me and and let me show you.
How does geothermal work?
 You already have a heat pump in your home -- your refrigerator. If you  put your hand behind it, you'll feel the heat that has been pumped from the inside and from its contents. It's the same principle that the geothermal heat pump uses to move heat to and from the home and earth.
 In the summer, the heat pump extracts heat from the conditioned space (inside your whole house) and sends it out to the earth loop to warm the relatively cool ground, or pond, if it's an aqua loop. That cold comes back to your house. But putting things in the cound to keep them cool has veen around for Hundreds of years. The wine cellars of Europe is just once example.
 In the winter, this process is reversed. The heat pump extracts heat from the relatively warm ground, usually warmer than the outdoor cold air, and pumps this heat into the conditioned space (back into the inside of your house)
The result is the need for far less energy than the conventional air source heat pump system for year-round conditioning. Even in the winter, it is more efficient than conventional natural gas or oil heating systems.

Geothermal heating
heating and cooling is a step in the right direction. used in an inefficient house with a cheaper form or energy is still a waste of time because of the excessive heat loss in such houses.
After lots of compellation and research. I have found that the only way to be truly environmentally friendly, efficient and cost effective, would be geothermal heating and cooling in a geothermal or underground house and a solar system to run the heat pump and the other electrical needs.
If properly designed, can create the best reductions in heating and cooling while having a properly insulated house utilizing the ground and the geothermal properties of the earth, to its' full advantage. A new concept but it is mine and i am right. using only solar as an alternative back up as your house will be below grade and any ground water /sewage must be pumped and into a weeping bed or some such.
Definition: Earth sheltered, or underground, houses lie mostly beneath the ground surface. The surrounding soil provides natural insulation, making these houses inexpensive to heat and cool. The best location for an earth sheltered house is on a well-drained hillside. Windows facing to the south or an overhead skylight will fill the interior with sunshine.
Designers of underground homes have developed several methods for regulating the interior temperature. Some underground homes depend entirely on the natural insulation provided by the walls and floors. Sometimes tubes are channeled through the earth to bring in air. And, sometimes a heat pump is used to regulate temperatures.
Earth sheltered homes are typically made of concrete. Construction costs can run 10% higher than that of a conventional house. But you get it all back in time.

i have also figured out a way to make passive solar energy more reliable but solar technology must be used to run the fans and circulate the air through the house.
The only thing one will have to depend on a a good source of drinking water but a good rainwater harvesting system, which uses rainwater for car washing and washing clothes and flushing toilets can be used. i found the best system for this out of Germany. The only in the demo costs about 8,000.00 total including installation if all the appliances which use water to close to the source.
In an underground house may be a slight humidity problem depending on where it is built but if you have radiant heat, it may eliminate most of it. You see we, humans do some pretty stupid things. I mean we can do great things if we really want to. But.....sometimes we settle for second best.
Those days are over, in my opinion.
Forced air is very inefficient and to convert a house which uses forced air, can be costly. it may be better to move.
A lightweight concrete (gypcrete) is poured evenly across the floor. Gypcrete provides thermal mass for comfortable heat distribution. The pipes in the floor carry the liquid (must like the coolant in your car) through the floor to radiate the room, and while waling on the floor give a great feeling too.
In basement applications, the radiant floor tubing is installed above a layer of insulation before the concrete floor is poured. This provides even heat distribution throughout the surface.
No more cold floors.
A heat pump is used to pump the coolant through it much like our radiator example..
Heat pump operates similar to a fridge, as everyone knows fridges are very reliable, require little or no maintenance and have a life of over 20 years. Heat pumps are the same, They operate to cool the outside environment, heat source or earth, the heat removed and the energy used in the process is transferred into the building as heat. Heat pumps work best with a high level of insulation and a low temperature heating system. However it will also operate with radiators which have been oversized by at least 30%. Although Heat pumps use electricity one of the most expensive fuels, they can be up to 600% efficient and configured to operate on night rate electricity providing heating for as low as 1.6 cent per KWH compared to 4 cent for natural gas and 7 cent for oil as well as electricity at peak times at 10 cents.
Wood burning radiant heat. But this is silly that you have to go outside to put wood in it. it would be smarter to put your heat collector inside the fireplace and then when use your fireplace it will also heat your whole house. I will build some models and see if it is viable. They do things like this in places where you cannot gig into the ground but this is silly, because you could never go away for some time in the winter because all your water pipes will freeze and break. Leaving you with quite a mess when you return. On the other hand oif it is a cottage or something and you are only there for the weekend. That is probably ok, but a wood burning stove does a pretty good job too.
One of the great things about radiant heat and this geothermal system as it will cost little more to heat your driveway so you don't have to shovel it, not your walkways. a big luxury but who likes shoveling the snow?

houses in Hungary, Europe, have been built like this over 100 years ago. What is wrong with us in this country that we are so backwards by comparison. The light comes in during the day and it is enough so that no light needs to be turned on.
We have tons of Architects here, what are they doing?
Why have we not heard from them? Why is it always the "quacks" we have to rely on to create the things we really need?
WHY?
