If you’ve landed here, you’re likely not just shopping for another furnace. You’re looking for a smarter, cleaner way to heat and cool your home in Simcoe County. If you’re in Barrie, Orillia, Bracebridge, or the surrounding area, and are looking for something more efficient. More reliable. More in tune with your long-term goals. Geothermal heating and cooling may be the energy-efficient upgrade you need. At SMHC, we create and install custom geothermal systems. These systems lower your bills, cut emissions, and improve your home’s comfort all year long.
Geothermal isn’t just another box on the HVAC checklist. It requires deep land knowledge, specialty training, and a commitment to design precision. That’s why few HVAC companies in Simcoe County provide it. Even fewer offer the long-term care and attention we do at SMHC.
We’re not just installers. We’re local geothermal experts, with a wealth of education, real-world experience, and the tools to install these systems right, the first time. We’re certified to install Geothermal Water Furnace systems. We can guide you through options such as open-loop, lake-loop, or vertical well systems.
You want a home that’s comfortable, quiet, and affordable to operate. Yet, your current system is noisy, expensive to run, or starting to fail. You’ve heard geothermal could be the solution, but maybe you’re unsure about:
That’s where we come in.
Geothermal systems use the earth or nearby water as a heat exchange source. They don’t use fuel. They simply move heat. That’s why they are among the most energy-efficient options for heating and cooling.
But these systems are only as good as their design and installation. With SMHC, you get the region’s top geothermal technicians. They know the land, the rules, and your home’s energy needs.
Geothermal isn’t a “plug-and-play” system. It requires:
SMHC is one of the few contractors in Simcoe Muskoka that handles everything in-house. This includes soil assessments and long-term system care.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the systems we design and install:
Best for large lots or rural homes. We install coils in long, shallow trenches across your yard. It’s simple, clean, and affordable, especially for new builds.
Great for tight lots, rocky terrain, or existing homes. We drill deep into the ground where the temperature is consistent. Low surface impact, high return on comfort.
Have a lakefront property? This is a quiet, energy-efficient option that blends with your landscape. We bury coils below the surface. This lets us benefit from the lake’s steady temperature throughout the year.
If your property has access to clean, abundant groundwater, an open-loop system might be your best bet. These are very efficient, but they need careful site checks and permits. Our team takes care of everything for you.
Because most HVAC companies are unable to do it. Simple as that.
Geothermal isn’t a DIY-friendly field. It requires specific training, soil knowledge, hydrology insight, and system design experience. SMHC is one of the few HVAC companies in Simcoe Muskoka that manages geothermal work in-house. We handle everything from consultation to design and service after installation.
This isn’t about “buying a system.” It’s about taking control of your home’s future comfort and operating costs.
