The Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative is demonstrating efficient heating and cooling at the LMRE house at the Lorain County Fair.

The house is entirely heated and cooled — and “mostly cooled this week we hope,” said LMRE’s Terry Mazzone — with geothermal power.

The LMRE house at the fair is “a great way for us to easily demonstrate a very efficient heating and cooling system,” Mazzone said.

Visitors can learn about energy efficiency and find out ways to save money on their own energy costs.

LMRE is working with the Rural Lorain County Water Authority, showing “electric and water do mix,” Mazzone said.
