Ground source heat pumps provide a new and clean way of heating buildings all over the world. They make use of renewable energy stored in the ground, providing one of the most energy-efficient ways of heating building. They are suitable for a wide variety of building types and are particularly appropriate for low environment impact projects.

The only energy used by Ground Source Heat Pump System is electricity to power the pumps. Typically, a Ground Source Heat Pump will deliver 3 or 4 times as much thermal energy (heat) as in used in electrical energy to drive the system. For a particularly environment solution, green electricity can be purchased.

Ground Source Heat Pump System have been widely used in other parts of the world, including North American and Europe, for many years. Typically they cost more to install than conventional systems; however, they have very low maintenance costs and can be excepted to provide reliable and environmental friendly hearing for in excess of 20 years.

Ground Source Hear Pumps work best with heating systems which are optimised to run at a lower water temperature than is commonly used in UK boiler and radiator system. As much, they make an ideal partner for underflow hearing system.

How efficient are Ground Source Heat Pumps?

For every unit of electricity used to power the heat pump system, approximately 3-4 units of heat are captured and distributed. In effect, this means a Ground Source Heat Pump is 300-400% efficient in terms of its use of electricity. At this efficiency level, there will be less carbon dioxide emissions than for a gas boiler heating system. In many cased, it may also be possible to provide the required electricity by means of renewable energy, thus virtually doing away with any use of fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions to zero.

Installation and Running Costs

Exact installation costs depend on the site and the amount of heat output required. A survey is necessary to ensure that the ground at the location is suitable and to decide whether a horizontal trench or vertical borholes is most appropriate. Again as a very general guide, the installed cost of a typical system would probably be about €1000 per kw. However, this cost may vary greatly depending on the type of property and ground conditions. Savings in running costs of 25% to 50% are possible depending on the type and price of fuel being displaced.
