The Benefits of Geothermal Energy

A brilliant idea for today… and for tomorrow

At 22degrés, we've been installing geothermal systems across Quebec for years. What we see, day after day, is simple: geothermal works. And it works better than anything else.

Rather than continuing to debate old myths or outdated comparisons, we now prefer to focus on what geothermal truly brings to people, homes, and our society.

Why choose geothermal?

  • Long-lasting performance A geothermal heat pump lasts over 25 years, and its underground heat exchanger can operate for up to a century. It's a system built to last, with minimal maintenance.
  • Clean and renewable energy Geothermal draws heat from the ground, where the temperature remains stable year-round. It burns nothing. It pollutes nothing. It converts a local, free energy source into comfort.
  • Less space, more freedom Say goodbye to noisy outdoor units or oil tanks to maintain. The geothermal system is entirely discreet, compact, and integrated.
  • Comfort in all seasons, under any circumstances Even during prolonged power outages or extreme weather events (think ice storms or heatwaves), a geothermal system can be powered by a generator or batteries. It continues to heat and cool—quietly, without vibrations, without compromise.
  • Protection against rising energy costs By drastically reducing your energy consumption, you become far less vulnerable to rate hikes or market crises.
  • A home that gains value Comfort, stable costs, peace of mind, and energy efficiency are all assets that truly increase a property's value.
  • A tangible impact on GHG emissions For an average-sized home, you can avoid up to 5 tons of CO₂ emissions per year. Geothermal is one of the most powerful solutions for a carbon-neutral future.

Geothermal: simpler than ever

Drilling for geothermal energy.
  • You don't need a huge lot. Drilling can now be done in back alleys, flowerbeds, or even under the future mechanical room. Whether you're in Rosemont, Villeray, Westmount, or Laval, we adapt to the space available.
  • Outdoor work is precise, clean, and fast. Our methods minimize the impact on landscaping. And thanks to our specialized equipment, everything is often completed in just a few days—even in winter.
  • Geothermal is compatible with your current system. Whether you have forced air, hot water, or even electric baseboards, there are simple solutions to adapt your heating or cooling distribution.
  • You don't need to drill a kilometer deep. Residential geothermal uses the first 750 feet of soil, where the temperature remains stable. It's not volcanic geothermal—it's gentle, shallow geothermal, naturally recharged by the sun, rainwater, and urban activity.

By the numbers: a logical investment

Thanks to government and municipal grants, the cost difference between a geothermal system and a traditional heat pump is now minimal. But the energy savings are major—and long-lasting.

It's a smart investment: profitable, tax-free, eco-friendly, and it starts paying off from the very first bill.

Conclusion: a mature technology, a choice for the future

Today, geothermal is no longer a curiosity. It's a serious, logical, and accessible choice. Whether for a renovation, a self-build, or a system conversion, 22degrés is here to guide you.

Take the leap. Choose lasting comfort. Geothermal is now.
