The Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) is the most efficient, economical home heating and cooling system available and ensures maximum year-round comfort. In the winter the GSHP draws heat from the ground or outside water supply through a network of plastic pipes, and circulates it throughout your home. During the summer it reverses itself and extracts heat and moisture from your home, leaving you cool and comfortable. The extracted heat is used for water heating, so you get free hot water all summer. This technology can reduce your energy usage up to 65%. For every dollar of energy required to run it, the GSHP produces three dollars worth of energy. That's unbeatable value.

Telephone 623-4444 take place in Ontario," said Mr. McKeen. "And most of those events take one day and are called horse trials." He added that many promising Canadian riders from other provinces come to Ontario partly because of its proximity to events in the United States. In Europe, the country most deeply involved in eventing is England. World class horses and riders compete at an international international level every two years, alternating between the Olympics and the world championships each of which are held every fourth year. "A three-day event generally generally goes from Wednesday to Sunday if everything is taken into account," explained explained Mr. McKeen. "Wednesday "Wednesday is the first mandatory mandatory vet inspection and the official course walk, Thursday Thursday and Friday are the dressage tests to demonstrate demonstrate horse and rider concentration concentration and communica-. tion. Each dressage movement is marked from 0-10." He added that the most demanding part of the competition competition is Saturday's endurance endurance phase during which each horse must carry a minimum of 165 lbs. "That makes men and women competitors completely completely equal," Mr. McKeen pointed out. The endurance phase includes includes 16 miles of roads, tracks, steeplechase and cross country riding in which all obstacles are solid. Sunday, the final day of competition, is the day for the stadium jumping course and another mandatory vet check. The indoor course is to prove that even after a grueling endurance course one day prior, the horse is still willing and capable of performing.
