Propane vs. Geothermal
Most propane furnaces have efficiency ratings around 90 to 95 percent.  The remaining 10 percent escapes through the flue during combustion.  Geothermal heat pumps are often measured using a coefficient of performance – a ratio of heat produced to energy consumed to produce it.  The coefficient of performance is multiplied by 100 to determine the efficiency rating.  Geothermal heat pumps often offer efficiency levels of 300 to 600 percent!  Ratings above 100 percent indicate the system is creating more energy …
