The type of Heat Pump which is most suitable depends on your site and your requirements. We recommend that a site survey is carried out by one of our experienced team.

Heat Pumps work most efficiently with Underfloor Heating. Heat Pumps produce low temperature water approximately 35 to 40 degrees which is perfect for Underfloor Heating.

The Heat Pump can be placed in a garage or outbuilding close to your dwelling.

What area do I require for the ground loops of the Ground Source Heat Pump?

This depends on the size of your house and the heatloss but as a rough guide it is two or three times the area you wish to heat.

What depth do the ground loops be buried?

The trench is approximately 1m in depth by 1m in width and length depends again on size of loops.

Will my soil be suitable?

We carry out a site assessment to check suitability but most soil type are fine.

How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?

The Air Source Heat Pump extracts the surrounding ambient air and uses electricity to power the heat exchanger inside the heat pump, which then heats the water for your domestic heating.

The Heat Pump must be placed outside but can be positioned any where around your house, garage or outbuilding.

Do the Heat Pumps heat the water directly?

We normally use a buffer tank which stores the hot water that is produced which then feeds the heating system.
