You can choose from traditional heating systems like a furnace or boiler, or you could go with something newer, like <a href=\"\/heating\/geothermal-system-installation\" target=\"_blank\">a geothermal system<\/a>. While this system may sound like something futuristic, it really isn\u2019t. In short, it is a system that takes advantage of the Earth\u2019s natural, steady temperature below the frost line to heat your home. Why choose a system like this to heat your home in Eugene? Here are some reasons our customers have chosen this kind of system:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The most energy efficient system available<\/strong> \u2013 geothermal systems actually give back more energy than they use. For every single unit of energy they use to operate (the heat pumps use a small amount of electricity), they give back 3-4 units, giving them a 300-400% energy efficiency rating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long lifespan on components<\/strong> \u2013 the ground loop of a geothermal system has an average lifespan of 35-50 years and the ground-source heat pumps have a lifespan of 20-25 years. This is quite a bit longer than the lifespans of traditional heating systems that have average lifespans of 15-20 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can heat and cool<\/strong> \u2013 because geothermal systems use heat pumps, they can provide your home with both heating and cooling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The heating and cooling is comfortable<\/strong> \u2013 the air comes through from geothermal systems in a low, continuous volume, providing heating and cooling that is comfortable and has better-balanced moisture levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can be ducted or ductless<\/strong> \u2013 when choosing a geothermal system for your home, the system can work with ductwork or with ductless indoor blowers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you are still wondering whether or not a geothermal system is a good choice to use for heating (and cooling) your home in Eugene, give the experts at Comfort Flow Heating a call!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners have never had so many choices for centralized heating systems.
