Ground Source Heat Pump

Imagine a heating system that uses renewable energy, requires no regular maintenance and is completely safe with no annual service contracts.

Heat pumps harness the solar energy stored in the earth to provide clean, environmentally friendly and efficient heating and hot water for your home.

The system works whatever the weather, day or night. It provides constant, seem-less warmth. Your entire home will become inviting and warm whatever the conditions outside and whatever the time of day.

How do they work?

It simply moves heat energy from one place to another, similar to the way your fridge works but in the reverse.

Water is circulated through a special pipe loop buried in the garden where it absorbs heat from the surrounding earth. The pipe is connected to a heat pump inside your home which, through compression of a refrigerant, raises the temperature before transferring it to your central heating system, and hot water tank. It can even heat your swimming pool!

Apart from the small amount of electricity used to power the heat pump, all of your heating energy needs will come from the ground around you. The temperature of the central heating system modulates depending on the outside temperature to ensure maximum energy savings. All the energy you take from the ground is replenished naturally by the heat of the sun.
