Our mistake. Writing/editing short segments like Going Green can be a challenge.

As you clearly know, "starts at 55" refers to the source temperature of the liquid brought into the house from 8' below the surface. The geothermal system includes a compressor that raises the temperature to that needed for a comfortable home. The outside air temp. is pretty much irrelevant, except as it affects heat loss from the structure as a whole.

Thanks for calling this to our attention.
