ground source heat pumps
the temperature 1 metre below the ground remains a constant 12-14 degrees all year
Ground source heat pumps take this constant energy and concentrate it into heat that can be used to heat your building or provide hot water.
what’s so great about ground source heat pumps?
- Ground source heat pumps can produce 4-5 times as much heat energy as the electrical energy they consume
- Using a ground source heat pump should reduce your energy bills by 50%, and can provide all your heating and hot water requirements in some cases
- Lowers your carbon footprint
- Protects you against rising gas and oil prices
- From April 2011 you’ll be paid for every unit of heat your heat pump produces
- Heat pumps have a lifespan of 50 years and are virtually maintenance free. The average boiler has a lifespan of 15 years.
