Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps use energy stored in the ground via boreholes or ground loops to provide heating and hot water with very high seasonal efficiency. Because ground temperatures remain relatively stable throughout the year, GSHP systems offer consistent performance in both winter and summer.
These systems are typically selected where site conditions allow for groundworks and where long-term operational efficiency is prioritised. Design considerations include borehole spacing, ground conditions, available land area and integration with thermal storage.
GSHP systems are particularly well suited to larger properties, high heat demands, and projects where longevity, low operating costs and future cooling capability are important.
Successful ground source installations depend on thorough site assessment and careful system design from the outset.
We consider:
- Site geology and ground conditions
- Borehole depth and spacing
- Available land area for ground loops
- Heat demand and load profiles
- Integration with thermal storage
- Controls and zoning strategy
- Future cooling capability
This detailed approach ensures systems deliver their full potential for efficiency and longevity.
