Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) also known as Geo Thermal Heat Pumps use a series of pipes which are buried in the garden (a ground loop) to extract low grade heat from the ground or can be via a borehole if there is limited space. This heat we extract then passes via a compressor and refrigeration cycle to give us greater heat which can then be used with under floor heating, fan convectors or a radiator system and also your hot water. A Ground Source Heat Pump is an ideal way to provide all year round heat as the core temperature of the ground does not vary dramatically throughout the year. If you are interested in Ground Source Pumps and want to know more call Star Plumbing and Heating.
