Heat Collection Methods (2)

Ground Source Heat Pump System (Ground Loops)

Ground source heat pumps retrieve the solar energy found in the ground via a pipe that is buried under a plot. At a depth of approximately one metre, the pipe is coiled around your plot, and the energy is then retrieved from the ground in a similar way to bedrock heat.

Advantages

• No drilling needed
• The pipe in the ground maintains an even temperature throughout the year
