Heat is removed from the ground through pipes that are buried in your garden and that have water and anti-freeze in them by using a ground source heat pump. If you have a reasonable sized garden, the pipes are placed in trenches dug to a depth of around two metres or, if you have a small garden, sunk vertically into the ground to a depth of up to 100 metres.

It is then possible to use the heat for the likes of water-filled radiators or for warm air central heating systems to heat your property as well as heating up the water to provide hot water to fill your bath and sinks. This is a great source of renewable energy.

Some of the potential benefits of using a ground source heat pump are: –

• May lower carbon emissions.
• Possible drop in fuel bills.
• No need to have deliveries of fuel as happens with oil fired central heating.
• The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme may generate an income for you.
• Low maintenance requirement.

Heat is produced at a lower temperature and over a greater period of time when compared with the likes of a gas boiler. In the winter months, for maximum efficiency, you may need to keep the heating on all the time. The boiler needs an electricity supply.

In order to assess the suitability and financial viability of a ground source heat pump you will no doubt require some advice. However, with so many companies out there, it can be difficult to find suitable tradespeople.

In that respect, you will be pleased to hear that Trade Quoter’s website provides you with access to a number of local heating engineers, some of whom have had customer reviews of their workmanship, that can assist you in this respect. They will be able to provide competitive no-obligation quotes for both providing the ground source heat pump, radiators, piping etc together with the cost of all the installation work that, hopefully, should result in you saving some money.
