What are the installation options for a ground source heat pump (GSHP)?
There are three installation options with a GSHP; each one requiring slightly different considerations. These options are trenches, boreholes and installations next to large bodies of water, such as lakes.
A common requirement with all of them, however, is the need for internal space to install the buffer tank and water cylinder. A GSHP requires a network of coils to be buried underground or submerged in a body of water, where it can draw heat energy used by the heat pump to meet the energy needs of the building.
Staying well in the winter months
As we move through autumn towards winter the shorter, colder days are settling in, and some of us may find ourselves feeling low or fighting off ill health.
What is a split system air source heat pump?
A split system air source heat pump has two parts to the unit with the outdoor unit placed outside to capture energy from the air and the indoor unit inside the building to use that energy to heat water for the dwelling. They are linked together by two pipes carrying the refrigerant – one in liquid and one in gaseous/vapour form.
