Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that use the stable temperatures underground as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. They work by circulating refrigerant through pipes buried in the ground, absorbing heat during the colder months and releasing it back in during summer.
The heat collected from the ground warms your building, and in cooling mode, the system works in reverse. GSHPs are known for their impressive efficiency, low running costs, and are a popular choice among customers looking for a low-carbon solution.
Why choose a ground source heat pump?
Ground source heat pumps are among the most efficient renewable heating systems available. By using naturally stored heat from the ground to produce heating and hot water, they typically consume less energy than traditional systems.
Whether this translates into lower bills depends on your current fuel type, the efficiency of your old boiler, and the design of your new system. In many cases they can offer running cost benefits, particularly for properties currently using oil, LPG, or direct electric heating.
They’re also an excellent option for reducing your carbon footprint. Because GSHPs move heat rather than burn fuel, they don’t produce direct greenhouse gas emissions, making them a cleaner and more sustainable way to heat your property.
Ground source heat pump installation
Ground source heat pump installation varies depending on your property and the system we specify, but the process generally follows a few core steps.
We’ll begin by preparing the ground for the pipework, this could involve digging trenches or drilling boreholes, depending on what suits your site best. Once that’s complete, we install the underground pipes and connect them to the indoor heat pump.
The final stage is integrating the heat pump with your home’s heating and hot water systems, providing reliable, renewable energy on demand.
Comparison to other heating technologies
There are clear advantages to choosing ground source heat pumps over other renewable heating systems.
First, they operate with consistently high efficiency. Using stable ground temperatures as a renewable heating system means less energy is required, and that translates into lower energy bills over time.
They also help cut carbon emissions. Unlike gas or oil boilers, GSHPs don’t burn fuel, they simply transfer heat, so they’re a more environmentally friendly option.
With a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, they’re a solid long-term investment for both residential and commercial buildings.
