What Is a Ground Source Heat Pump?
A ground source heat pump, or GSHP, uses naturally occurring heat stored in the ground to provide heating and hot water for a property.
A mixture of water and antifreeze circulates through underground pipework known as a ground loop, absorbing heat from the ground before transferring it to the heat pump. The temperature is then increased to provide usable heat for the property.
Because temperatures below ground remain relatively stable throughout the year, ground source heat pumps can continue to operate efficiently during colder weather.
Is a Ground Source Heat Pump Right for Your Property?
A ground source heat pump needs to be designed around your property, its heating requirements and the outdoor space available.
The length of ground loop required depends on the size and heating demand of the property and the amount of available outdoor space. Longer loops allow heat to be collected over a greater surface area.
Our team assesses each property individually and can advise on the requirements as part of the quotation process.
