Ground Source Heat Pumps Explained
Ground source heat pumps get their energy from the ground.
They can heat water for taps, radiators and underfloor heating.
This method is often more efficient but can be a bit more expensive and needs suitable land near your house

You will need enough outdoor space to dig trenches or drill boreholes for a ground source heat pump. The heat pump box is the size of a large air conditioning unit and usually sits on the ground next to one of your exterior walls.
Inside your home, there are pipes and other equipment. The ground source heat pump box, usually around the size of a fridge, goes inside your house. Some are as big as a tall
fridge, while others are the size of a counter-height fridge.
What does the kit look like in your home?
A typical setup needs a space about 1m wide x 2m long x 2m high-roughly the size of an under-stairs cupboard or a small closet. Some people put them in garages, lofts, or create a cupboard in an existing room.
The size of the internal set up can vary depending on the size and configuration of your house and the manufacturer of the heat pump you go for.

How does a ground source heat pump work?
Imagine tapping into the earth’s natural warmth to heat your home! A ground source heat pump does just that. Pipes buried in your garden circulate a mix of water and antifreeze, soaking up the ground’s steady heat. This heat is then transferred into your home, providing cozy warmth and hot water. It's an efficient system that uses renewable energy, helping you save on bills and shrink your carbon footprint. Enjoy the comfort of your home while doing your part for the planet!
Our advisors can help make your heat pump run more efficiently by doing a house check to look for heat loss. Heat loss is measured by reviewing the floor area, construction materials, and insulation levels. By fixing areas where heat can escape, you can reduce the amount of heat you need to produce, helping your heat pump system run better and save costs.
