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.

At SMHC, we make geothermal feel simple, straightforward, and built around you.

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.

What Are The Different Types Of Water Heaters For Your Home

The Problem Most Simcoe Muskoka Homeowners Face

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:

  • How it works
  • Whether your property qualifies
  • Who can be trusted to install it correctly
  • Whether the long-term savings are worth it

That’s where we come in.

The Solution: Ground-Up Comfort with Geothermal

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.

Built for Simcoe County and Muskoka Properties, Not Off-the-Shelf Installs

Geothermal isn’t a “plug-and-play” system. It requires:

  • Specialized design
  • Local land and soil knowledge
  • Certified technicians
  • And a whole lot of precision

SMHC is one of the few contractors in Simcoe Muskoka that handles everything in-house. This includes soil assessments and long-term system care.

Geothermal Ground Work Installation

Which Geothermal System Is Right for Your Simcoe home or cottage?

Here’s a quick breakdown of the systems we design and install:

Horizontal Field Loops

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.

Drilled Vertical Wells

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.

Lake Loop Systems

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.

Open Loop Systems

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.

Why Haven’t I Heard of WaterFurnace Geothermal Before?

Because most HVAC companies are unable to do it. Simple as that.

  • We do full soil and land assessments
  • Our installs are built to last 20+ years
  • And most importantly… we explain everything in plain language

  • Up to 70% lower heating & cooling costs

I was in a tough spot when my hot water heater quit. I had SMHC come have the very next day. I was in need of a new hot water system as well as a water softener. The salesman was very helpful in figuring out a solution to my problem. Linzee was extremely helpful in facilitating my install, and getting everything lined up. The installers Collin and Rob were very professional. They did an immaculate job. It looks nicer than it did originally. All in all everyone I dealt with from start to finish has been a gem. Thank you, SMHC

My experience was nothing short of exceptional excellent customer service. Starting from the Sales Rep - Marshall and to Linzee for the Account Setup and the two gentlemen for the Installations Colin Van + Rob. The team did great and gave me a soft landing. Colin V + Rob did the installations in a record time and they were very professional. The job was neat and looked crisp & sweet! :) They both spent quality time to answer all my questions. Knowledgeable guys! I love the wifi and app integration to the water softener. I’m so impressed with the whole process. I’d recommend Ecowater to my friends and anyone looking for a good solution. I’d not say it’s a cheap system. I did shop around and had 4 competitors of water softeners visit my home and Ecowater turn out to be twice expensive ish, but I ended up with it. I did an honest comparison and they tick all the box, including quality of product, modern technology, plus wifi access for ease management and notifications. I love it!

I had SMHC install a radiant heater in my shop, they were great to deal with from start to finish. They came by took measurements went over various options to get the heat working in my shop and sent me multiple quote options. Once decided what I wanted installed they had me scheduled for the next week. The install crew was great incredibly tidy, they even worked late to get it finished same day. Which I appreciated so we could get the heat going! I would highly recommend the SMHC team for your next HVAC project incredible experience and competitive pricing!

Well, we smelled strong fumes outside exhausting from my furnace, so I googled for help. I came across Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort (SMHC) and contacted them based on their reviews and I am glad I did. Scheduled a diagnostic service call and Technicians James and Eekim came and with their experience knew exactly what the problem was and confirmed my heat exchanger is cracked. Lucky for me warranty covered the replacement for the new exchanger as this was a premature failure. SMHC took care of everything for me with a very quick turnaround time. Removing and replacing a furnace heat exchanger is no small job and most of the furnace needed to be dismantled to get the old exchanger out and the new exchanger installed and then put everything back together again. James & Eekim did an amazing professional job and I highly recommend you do not hesitate to contact SMHC for all your HVAC needs.
