SUNY-ESF Going Green: Geothermal Heating - Welcome to the world of geothermal heating and cooling for your home. This unit doesn't look much different from the furnace you'll find in the basement of most homes but note the two pipes on the right side. Water from eight feet underground is pumped through the unit to provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. This house is using a horizontal geothermal system.

    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.

  • "in the winter below 0 outside, inside starts at 55 deg". ?? what ?? get the crap right before u post something
