Ground Source Heat Pumps

Does your commercial building use a lot of heating and have available space outside? If so then it could be worth looking at investing in a ground source heat pump to provide your heating and hot water needs.

Pipes buried underground absorb heat from the ground at low temperatures into a fluid inside the pipe. The fluid then passes through a compressor that raises it to a higher temperature, which can then be used to heat water for the heating and hot water systems of the building.

The pipes can be placed either horizontal or vertical into the ground and the length of them is determined by the buildings heating requirements.

Advantages of the technology include:

• Despite a moderate financial outlay, savings on energy bills will be immediate, as energy needs are reduced
• If replacing an electric heating system the pump will pay for itself much more quickly
• It will lower your business’s carbon emissions, using a third of the energy required by a gas boiler technology to produce the same amount of heat.
• As the technology uses some electricity even less environmental impact will be seen if this is obtained through another renewable source
• The Renewable Heat Incentive pays a subsidy to heat pump users, meaning you could produce an income from generating heat in this way
