Ground Source Heat Pumps
Dig one
metre down, and the ground is at a constant temperature
of around 10 degrees. When we install a
ground source heat pump,
we lay loops of pipes in the
ground, or we place them in a bore hole up to 150m deep.
The pipes contain a liquid which absorbs the ground
heat, which then provides the heat source for a
heat pump located inside the
house.
Ground
source heat pumps
are silent, maintenance needs and costs are negligible
and there are no visible external units. Ground source
heat pumps can be installed in existing properties, and
are particularly recommended for new builds and larger
homes or business/community use premises.
Because
of the constant level of heat, ground source heat pumps
are even more efficient than
air source heat pumps,
though they cost more to install.
Once installed and operating, you can expect a cut in
fuel bills of between 35% and 70%.
