I grew up just outside of Ottawa and we had a system like this 20 years ago. I don't think you can get a permit for them anymore because they don't like you moving water from one water table to another because of contamination reasons. Nowadays, it's mostly ground loops being installed. In rural settings where natural gas isn't available, and you have the space to run the horizontal loops, they're a good option.
