AERIUS BUILD LTD.
Aerius Build Ltd. is a green innovative contracting company providing geothermal consulting, design, and design/build with GeoExchangeSM technology (ground source heat pump) for large residential, commercial, and institutional projects. Our company can provide consulting, engineering design, drilling, supply and installation of a geothermal system along with supervision of projects.
Geothermal energy using GeoExchangeSM is considered to be the most energy-efficient, and cost-effective heating and air-conditioning system available. Also, these systems are the most environmentally clean, compared to all fossil fuel energy sources, by reducing the gas emissions. GeoExchangeSM is a technology of geothermal energy transfer through an underground piping system connected to the building equipment. In the Winter season, the natural heat of the earth is extracted through the piping system to heat the building. In the Summer season, the process is reversed, extracting the heat out of the building into the piping system to achieve air-conditioning.
Aerius Build Ltd., provides over 35 years Engineering expertise. Our personnel have certification in International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA) and Canadian GeoExchangeSM Coalition (CGC). Our staff includes Mechanical Engineers/Technicians, Electrical Engineers/Technicians, Fabrication Specialists, Certified Well Drillers, and Certified Fusion Welders.
