A ground source heat pump also is known as a geothermal pump, is a central heating/cooling device designed to transfer heat to or from the ground’s upper layers. Through a network of pipes that are installed underground at a depth of 10 to 150m (in the case of a borehole collector), the heat that is being absorbed by the Earth's crust is transported from the source (underground) to the designated area (household) and released as high-temperature heat.

The Benefits of A Ground Source Heat Pump

One of the main advantages of geothermal heat pumps is subject to their low energy consumption levels, whereas they consume 20-50% less energy than conventional heating or cooling systems. In order to draw out three units of heat from the ground, a geothermal heat pump usually uses one unit of electric power. Which means that every kW of electricity is converted into 3 to 5 kW of heating or 2 to 3 kW of cooling energy.

​

According to the research studies that have been carried out thus far, it was discovered that ground source heat pumps positively contribute to the reduction in energy consumption by 44% compared to air source heat pumps and by 62% compared to traditional air conditioning. Thus, the energy efficiency rate a ground source heat pump is able to deliver, varies from 300% to 500%.
