Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps
take heat from the ground and use it to heat water. This can then be used to provide a total heating solution throughout the year for your home.
Just a metre beneath the ground the temperature typically varies between 7 and 12°C. This pump can then extract this heat and it can be used for:-
- Underfloor Heating
- Standard Radiators
- Domestic Hot Water
- Skirting board radiators
This heating system usually consists of a ground loop; either as a set of pipes buried in the ground or submerged in a body of water. The requirement for a ground loop often means that geothermal systems are installed in properties with large areas of land. However, Intelligent Energy Solutions can supply compact heat collectors designed to minimise space requirements. We even utilise bore holes and therefore make the benefits of a heat pump available to almost anyone. See the system options section above to read about the ground loop options available with our heat pumps.
