Very! Approximately 80% of the energy needed to heat your house comes from the ground, with only 20% needed from the electrical grid to run the geothermal pumps and compressor. Our geothermal systems achieve efficiencies of 400% or higher. As a comparison, a 92% “high”- efficient gas burning furnace uses roughly 5 TIMES MORE energy to heat your home!
