How We Work
Overview
What is Zerofootprint Energy?
Zerofootprint Energy is a renewable energy company. We specialize in making renewable energy systems financially accessible to builders and homeowners.
How does Zerofootprint Energy work?
Zerofootprint Energy provides the capital that allows builders to install renewable energy systems at a cost equal to what they would have paid for traditional oil or natural gas systems.
The building’s occupants pay a fixed monthly energy fee – a fee that is both less than their current traditional oil or gas bill and guaranteed never to increase.
Zerofootprint Energy’s primary focus is geothermal. Other systems, including other types of renewable energy and energy efficiency will be considered as well.
How does Zerofootprint Energy contribute to creating sustainable economies?
Zerofootprint Energy is a social enterprise, dedicated to improving the environmental performance of energy systems. Zerofootprint, the parent company of Zerofootprint Energy, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable green markets worldwide. A large portion of Zerofootprint Energy’s income goes directly to support the not-for-profit endeavors of its parent company.
Why install Geothermal?
Traditionally, geothermal energy has been avoided due to the high upfront costs associated with the technology. Zerofootprint Energy’s innovative financing model removes this barrier, making geothermal technology an accessible and cost effective choice.
Rising energy costs make geothermal energy more attractive than ever before. Oil and natural gas prices have continued to rise - the price of natural gas has increased by almost 1000% since the mid-1990s. Recently, Natural Resources Canada proclaimed that geothermal energy was the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean and cost-effective space conditioning system available.
