Geothermal heat pumps are three to five times as efficient as the most efficient fossil fuel furnace. Instead of burning a combustible fuel to make heat, they simply transfer heat that already exists from the earth. By doing so, they provide three to five units of energy for every unit used to power the heat-pump system.
A horizontal slinky loop installation is shown in the photo to the right. This is the most common loop used when adequate land area is available. Loop installers use excavation equipment such as chain trenchers, backhoes and track hoes to dig trenches approximately 6-8 feet deep. Trench lengths range from 125 to 300 feet, depending on the loop design and application.
