How does a Ground Source Heat Pump work?
The system works by collecting heat from the ground. For instance heat is fed up through pipes that are placed into the soil.
Within these pipes are water along with Glycol, which is an antifreeze. After that the pipes can raise the heat from the ground and pump it into the ground source heat pump.
Meanwhile the heat then boils refrigerant to make vapour which is compressed. Similarly this is used to raise the temperature to about 100 degrees Celsius.
In conclusion, once the water is heated, it goes through heat exchange in a hot water cylinder. This heated water is used to power the central heating and hot water system.

How much will it cost?
The cost of a ground source heat pump is impossible to guess accurately without a site visit. For instance, as a rough guide for a standard 4 bedroom house it may cost between £14000 – £35000.
High Efficiency
A ground source heat pump system can help to lower your carbon footprint. This is because it uses a renewable, natural source of heat – the ground.
Moreover, according to the Energy Saving Trust, a heat pump with mid-range efficiency would save you most carbon when;
- used to replace an old electric heating system (with storage heaters) or
- coal heating system.
A heat pump also requires a supplementary source of power, usually electricity, to power the heat pump. So there will inevitably be some resulting CO2 emissions.
