Geothermal Installations - Cost Effective Sustainable Energy

Heat pumps can be very energy efficient, producing four
or five times the amount of heat energy for every unit of
electrical energy needed.

Geothermal power is heat taken from the ground. The ground
absorbs a vast amount of radiant heat from the sun and stores it
at a constant 12 degrees from 1.2m under the grounds surface.

How it Works

Ground Source Heat pumps are used to extract heat from the ground. Heat pumps can be very energy efficient, producing four or five times the amount of heat energy for every unit of electrical energy needed. A heat pump takes the heat from the fluid (or water) that is in contact with the ground, extracts the heat from this source and transfers it to a heat sink where it can then be circulated through a heating system via underfloor heating or radiators.

Heat pumps do not produce electricity; however, they can provide hot water and heating and can be operated in reverse to
provide cooling.

The pump uses around 25% of the electrical energy required by a conventional heating system. Apart from this all geothermal energy
is renewable and free.

Ground-source heat pumps are especially suitable for buildings that demand heating and cooling usage over long hours, such as hotels & hospitals. A heat-pump system becomes more efficient with use when compared to conventional fossil-fuel systems.

A Geothermal heating system is low maintenance and once installed is not expensive to maintain. It is a renewable source of energy and is highly ecological and reliable.

Geothermal Installations are able to install GSHP using both vertical loops (pipes that drill down into
the earth for buildings with limited outdoor space) and horizontal loops (pipes that lay across a larger area of earth)
