How ground source works?
Ground source heat pumps can provide both hot water and heating. There are two forms of energy collection; vertical boreholes and horizontal loops in trenches. Both are highly efficient.
4 ways to collect energy
When the sun shines, it heats the ground and the air. This creates natural sources of heat energy, all around us, that are just waiting to be captured. That’s what a heat pump does.
Ground Source Heat pumps collect solar energy that has been stored in the ground and convert it into an environmentally sustainable indoor climate for your home. No coal. No gas. No oil.
