GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Ground source heat pumps use solar energy naturally stored in soil, bedrock and groundwater as a heat source. They do require electricity to operate, but efficiently produce up to five times as much heat energy for every unit of electricity they use.
For ground source heat pumps you will need a different cylinder to those traditionally used in the home as these need to become more of a heat store, therefore making them bigger in size.

Borehole Collector

Compact Collector

Horizontal Ground Collector
There are a number of types of ground source heat pumps available to suit the heating requirements of any building, whether it's an existing structure or a new build. They can also be installed almost anywhere, provided there is sufficient space to lay the ground loops or drill a bore hole.
INSTALLING A GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
- A ground source heat pump can be installed with a horizontal collector, lengths of pipe are buried underground to a depth of around 1 to 2 metres.
- Alternatively, a vertical collector can be used, which requires a bore hole to be drilled to a depth of around 50m to 200m and the collector is fed into the hole.
- Electrical and plumbing installation is straightforward. It requires only a 240V mains supply and simple flow and return connections to internal and external wall circuits.
