Ground Source Heat Pumps
Future Solutions can provide the excellence you’re looking for if you wish to install a ground source heat pump. More and more ground source heat pumps are appearing in homes and business premises across the UK, though they have been commonly used in parts of mainland Europe for many years.
How do they work?
Ground source heat pumps allow you to source heating and hot water in a more economical manner whilst reducing your carbon footprint. They can be particularly useful for companies and households off the gas network but offer significant benefits to all. These pumps use pipes buried in the ground to extract heat. Temperatures beneath the ground stay consistent throughout the year, which means your solution can serve you well throughout the seasons. They can help you reduce your CO2 emissions and energy bills whilst replacing your conventional boiler.

How efficient are ground source heat pumps?
The heat that the pump generates can be used throughout your property or premises to deliver heating and hot water. The pumps can work with a range of modern systems including central heating and underfloor heating. Your solution could cut your heating bills by some 70% and greatly reduce your reliance on coal and oil. The pump can be totally carbon neutral when used in conjunction with sustainable solutions like PV panels.
Do ground source heat pumps require much maintenance?
The maintenance requirements of ground source heat pumps are very minimal indeed. There are few moving parts, which means few repairs are needed. The main maintenance tasks required include keeping the pump free from debris. You won’t need to store any fuel when you opt for a ground source heat pump, and your pump will not require flueing due to the lack of harmful emissions involved. Ground source heat pumps are also famously quiet, emitting very little noise despite their efficiency. If you’re a commercial customer, you can even receive tariff-based payments following installation thanks to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
