Geothermal Heating & Cooling is Very Efficient October 22, 2012 Geothermal energy is among some of the most efficient heating and cooling options available to business and home owners alike. Unlike a traditional combustion furnace or electric heaters which can ONLY obtain a maximum of 100% efficiency if it circumstances are perfect, transforming one unit of energy input into one unit of heat output, a geothermal system works 3 to 5 times better. This all leads to lower energy costs for you, since you are obtaining so much more heating output. But not only will a geothermal unit assist you in saving money, it'll also help you lower your footprint on the environment. Without using any combustion, there aren’t any environmental dangers that are affiliated with it. Once you get a few feet down, the ground temperature stays reasonably constant all through the year. By installing a geothermal unit, you are grabbing this temperature and using it to supply the heating and cooling your home needs.
