West Coast Geothermal specializes in geothermal and water-source heat pump systems, from troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance to replacement planning, upgrades, and new installations.
We help homeowners, strata buildings, builders, contractors, commercial clients, and institutional projects understand specialized systems before they spend money on the wrong solution.
Primary Role
Specialized geothermal, water-source heat pump, and hydronic system support.
Service Region
Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and select communities across British Columbia.
How we help
- DiagnoseTroubleshooting and repair
- AdviseReplacement and upgrade planning
- DeliverInstallation and long-term support
Why we exist
Built around specialized geothermal knowledge.
West Coast Geothermal was created because geothermal and water-source heat pump systems are not standard HVAC work. They require knowledge of ground loops, water loops, refrigeration, hydronics, controls, equipment selection, and long-term system performance.
Specialized systems reward experience and expose guesswork. Our work is built around understanding the whole system, not only the equipment sitting in front of us.
Leadership
Led by experienced geothermal professionals.
West Coast Geothermal is led by Scott and a team that works with geothermal and water-source systems in the field. That matters when a client is making a high-value decision about repairs, retrofits, replacements, drilling, mechanical rooms, or long-term system planning.
Since 2008, the company has focused on specialized heating and cooling systems that many general HVAC companies only encounter occasionally.
The result is practical field judgment: how a system was designed, how it is failing, what is worth repairing, and when a better long-term plan is needed.
Why specialization matters
Specialized systems need specialized support.
Geothermal and water-source systems are efficient, but they are also technical. Poor design, poor installation, poor equipment selection, or poor maintenance can create expensive problems over time.
01
Ground and water loop knowledge
System performance depends on more than the heat pump. Loops, flow, water quality, and building conditions all matter.
02
Refrigeration and hydronics
Accurate diagnosis requires an understanding of refrigerant circuits, water-side performance, pumps, piping, and heat transfer.
03
Controls and performance
Controls, sensors, staging, and operating conditions can affect comfort, efficiency, reliability, and repair decisions.
04
Replacement compatibility
Equipment selection has to match the building, loop design, space constraints, service access, and long-term maintenance needs.
Repair-first philosophy
Repair, replace, or plan ahead. We help you make the right call.
Not every system needs replacement. Sometimes a proper repair, service visit, or controls adjustment is the right move.
Other times, especially with aging equipment, repeated failures, poor parts support, or expensive refrigeration issues, replacement may be smarter than continuing to chase breakdowns.
Understand
Identify what system you have and what is actually causing the problem.
Explain
Lay out repair, replacement, timing, cost, and risk in plain language.
Recommend
Help you avoid unnecessary replacement and avoid repeated repairs when replacement is the better decision.
Plan
Build a practical path for service, upgrade, replacement, or new installation.
Field experience
Thousands of systems installed and serviced.
Since 2008, West Coast Geothermal has installed thousands of geothermal and water-source heat pump systems and serviced thousands more across British Columbia.
Focused Since
Specialized geothermal and water-source heat pump work in BC.
Approx. Installed
Use only if Scott approves exact public wording.
More Serviced
Conservative wording can be used if exact service counts are not confirmed.
Publishing note: confirm system counts before using the exact 5,000 installed claim.
Who we work with
Different clients, different constraints, one practical path forward.
01
Homeowners
Planning geothermal heating and cooling, troubleshooting an existing system, or weighing repair against replacement.
02
Condo and Strata Owners
Replacing aging in-suite water-source heat pumps, reviewing repair quotes, or coordinating building-level planning.
03
Builders and Developers
Planning efficient mechanical systems where design, installation quality, and lifecycle performance matter.
04
Commercial and Institutional
Managing larger heating and cooling needs, community facilities, public-sector work, and long-term infrastructure planning.
Equipment knowledge
Equipment knowledge matters.
Choosing the right equipment is not only about brand name. It is about matching the system to the building, loop design, budget, performance expectations, installation constraints, and service needs.
West Coast Geothermal is an experienced geothermal contractor and Canadian equipment dealer, helping clients choose products that fit the application.

Plain-language education
Geothermal is a heat pump with a different energy source.
Air-source heat pumps use outdoor air as the energy source. Geothermal and water-source heat pump systems use the more stable temperature of the ground, water, or building loop.
That stable source can help deliver reliable heating and cooling performance, especially when the system is properly designed, installed, and maintained.
Project experience
Residential, strata, commercial, and institutional work.
- Residential geothermal installations
- Water-source heat pump replacement for condo and strata buildings
- Commercial geothermal systems
- Institutional and community facility projects
- Service and replacement planning for aging systems
Training and support
Training, certification, and field experience.
Our team brings geothermal training, refrigeration knowledge, hydronic system experience, manufacturer support, and real field experience.
Specific certifications, manufacturer programs, and logo usage should be confirmed before publishing.
