The Directory of our Professional Member/Practitioners

GeoTility has been designing, installing, and servicing heating and cooling systems for more than 30 years. In the early 1990’s we recognized the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives to help preserve our environment. We turned our attention to geothermal heating and cooling systems, which we believe are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today.

Since then we have dedicated ourselves to being an industry leader by providing the highest quality products, technical knowledge, and service to our clients. We have completed hundreds of geothermal projects ranging in size from small residential projects to large commercial and institutional systems. We can provide full design/build services for the most ambitious projects. From large multi-use recreation facilities to resort hotels and office buildings, our extensive experience will ensure a successful geothermal installation of any size.

Our design and installation staff are fully certified by heat pump manufacturers and the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, and our drilling division is overseen by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced drillers in Western Canada . We can design and install geothermal systems anywhere in Western Canada and the American Pacific Northwest. Regardless of size or location, we remain committed to providing the highest level of service to our past, present, and future customers.

Martin Energetics is the dba of a consultancy that first operated as a residential design and solar thermal sales and installation effort in the early 1980s that included contract training for residential energy auditors and Title-24 workshops for California SMACNA.  Its Principal was a full-time college instructor at the time and his remote location in the northern Sierra Nevada did not support this side business.

When Bill’s retirement from 35 years of teaching came in 2006 and plans for his “last house” were being finalized with geothermal in mind, the Martin Energetics moniker was revived.  Within a three year period, a frenzy of activity ensued. Bill designed and built that house as the general contractor and electrician, and designed the geothermal system it carries today.  He also was project coordinator on a 7-ton, two heat pump system in the same community.  He went to Stillwater, Oklahoma for his installer certification, joined CaliforniaGeo, and became emphatic about carbonless Zero Net Energy.

His all-electric home completed its first year as a solar NEM customer of PG&E in November, 2015 and demonstrated Zero Net Energy positive performance by exporting 1,500 Kwh more to the utility than was used.  Bill serves as CaliforniaGeo’s President.

ORCA takes care of all aspects of the “exterior works” portion of the geothermal system, including:

• Professional engineered exterior infrastructure, designed to meet the energy demands of your home or building
• Complete turn key installation including, drilling, loop insertion, grouting, headering, lateral piping, testing and commissioning, securing energy-ready supply to the demarcation point
• Pressure testing of the exterior infrastructure in preparation for connection to your building’s interior works
• Maintenance and repair of the exterior works portion for the life of the utility contract
• Detailed metering of the energy transferred to the indoor heat pump

The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) is the major North American trade association representing all segments of the plastic pipe industry through research, technical expertise, education, and advocacy. The Building and Construction Division, which focuses on pressure piping systems used within buildings and on building premises, represents manufacturers that produce plastic piping systems for outdoor heat exchangers (ground loops), such as HDPE, PEX, PE-RT and PP. PPI supports industry efforts to update geothermal standards and codes (e.g. ANSI/CSA/IGSHPA C448, IAPMO’s UMC and USHGC, ICC’s IMC and IRC); works closely with IGSHPA, GEO and other related organizations; publishes documents and educational presentations about plastic piping systems for geothermal applications; and serves as a technical resource for information on plastic piping technologies.

Protecting the geothermal concept, additional energy saving options and providing the longest lasting comfort systems available is our core focus every day. Maintaining our core business and employing key personnel who are interested in a very rewarding career. We are actively involved in many school programs and education seminars to promote the proper application of heating and cooling equipment.
