Geothermal Heating & Cooling is Very Efficient October 22, 2012 Geothermal energy is in the company of some of the most efficient heating and cooling options available to business and home owners alike. Being different from a traditional combustion furnace or electric heaters which MIGHT run at a maximum of 100% efficiency, changing one unit of energy input into one unit of heat output, a geothermal system works 3 to 5 times better. This all brings out lower energy costs for you, since you are getting so much more heating output. But not only will a geothermal unit help you save money, it'll also help you reduce your impact on the environment. Without having any combustion, there aren’t any environmental hazards that are associated with it. Once you dig down a couple of feet, the ground temperature stays quite consistent throughout the year. By installing a geothermal unit, you are harnessing this temperature and utilizing it to provide the heating and cooling your building requires.
