Consider geothermal energy!

The idea is simple: A geothermal, or geoexchange, system extracts heat from the ground or underground water to heat your house in winter and transfers the heat from the house into the ground in summer to cool it.

Before you decide, be sure to compare the costs, benefits and requirements of a geothermal system, as you would for any heating system.

Financial assistance

Although a geothermal system is much more energy-efficient than a conventional electrical heating system and can save up to 60% on home heating costs, it does cost more to install.

That's why Hydro-Québec offers grants on installation of a geothermal system by a Canadian GeoExchange Coalition-accredited firm:*

$2,800 for a new house
$2,000 for an existing house**

*Some conditions apply.
**Other grants are available for existing houses.

Did you know?: When your geothermal system is installed by a professional with accreditation from the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition, you'll get the CGC certificate you need to qualify for a Hydro-Québec grant. And you'll enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you can count on your system's quality and performance.
