Geothermal
Subdivision
Wawanesa is looking towards the future with
environmental friendly, energy efficient Geothermal
Technology.
Wawanesa is proud to be the first community
in Manitoba to build a subdivision that
utilizes geothermal technology for heating.
With co-operation with Manitoba Hydro, Wheat
Belt Community Futures Development Corporation
and others. This subdivision will have 11
homes that range in size from 1100 to 1600
sq ft and are either one level or bi level.
This new subdivision is located next to the
United Church between Main Street and Commercial
Street. To date all 11 lots have been sold
and 6 house have been completed with the remaining
5 to be completed within the next few years.

Information on Geothermal Systems
Geothermal systems work much the same way
as a refrigerator does. By exchanging the
earth's energy using coils filled with a special
liquid that are buried underground, the heat
pump circulates the liquid around the pipes
into your home to a heat exchanger. Not only
does the system heat your home, but also heats
your water. There is a cooling mode to keep
your home cool during the summer. Homes
are heated or cooled evenly, so there are
no hot or cold spots.
The system is:
- environment friendly
- economical
- comfortable
- Reliable
- Safe
- Versatile
- and Low Maintenance
