Ground Source Heat Pumps in Essex

Home > Ground Source Heat Pumps in Essex

Knowledgeable and experienced heat pump specialists

Terra Therma has installed many ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) in Essex and the South East, from relatively simple horizontal ground collectors, to more complex bore hole systems. We have a wealth of knowledge in ensuring the correct heat pump unit is selected and more importantly that ground collectors, either horizontal or bore holes, are sufficiently sized to harvest enough sustainable energy, whilst being able to be recharged in the non-heating season. Our grand source heat pump installers are qualified to implement many ground source heat pumps from manufacturers such as CTC Enertec, NIBE, Danfoss, Dimplex and Worcester Bosch.

A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is an efficient and effective central heating and/or cooling system that pumps heat from geothermal and solar energy to or from the ground. Grand source heating uses the earth as a heat source in the winter, or a heat sink in the summer. The design of a GSHP takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems. A GSHP can be combined with a solar energy heating system to provide you with even greater efficiency.

GSHP system facts:

The upper 3m (9.8ft) of the Earth’s surface maintains a near constant temperature between 10-16°C (50-60°F). GSHP systems use a heat pump to force heat from the earth into your building for heating and out of your building for cooling.

  • GSHP systems are efficient at heating, even when extracting heat from the ground during winter, because underground temperatures are stable throughout the year.
  • GSHP systems reach a fairly high Coefficient of Performance (CoP), 3-6 on the coldest of winter nights, and are among the most energy efficient technologies for providing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and water heating.
  • Set up costs may be higher than for conventional ground source heat pump systems, but the difference is usually returned in energy savings within 3-10 years.

How efficient are ground source heat pumps?

Ground source heat pumps are incredibly efficient! A ground source heat pump can achieve an energy efficiency of 400%. In comparison, some boilers can achieve around 90%. That’s a really huge difference. Why do ground source heat pumps perform so much better? Well, they deliver more energy than they consume from electricity. In fact, their energy output is around 3-4 times greater than the energy that you need to run them.

Their energy efficiency has made them popular in a wide range of properties, from new builds to retrofitting in older homes.

How does a ground source heat pump work?

Ground source heat pumps are pretty new technology to a lot of people, and as a result you may not know how they work. To put it simply, a ground source heat pump transfers heat from the ground to your property. The ground stays at around 8-12°C year-round, and this heats up the underground pipes. Once they capture this heat, the pump is able to heat it up further, and it can then be transported to the wet central heating system in your house.

If you want to find out more about how a ground source heat pump could work for you and your property, please get in touch with a member of our team today. We’d be happy to answer any questions that you have!
