Reliable, Long-Term Heating from the Ground Up
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) use the natural, constant warmth stored underground to provide efficient heating and hot water.
U
nlike gas boilers, which rely on burning fuel, GSHPs make use of renewable energy that’s available all year round. Pipes are buried underground, either in a horizontal trench or vertical boreholes, where they absorb stable ground temperatures to generate heat for your home.
GSHPs are one of the most efficient renewable heating systems available, often delivering more than four units of heat for every unit of electricity used. This means significant reductions in running costs compared to traditional heating.
While installation is a bigger project than an Air Source Heat Pump, the rewards are long-lasting. A typical GSHP system can operate for over 25 years, with ground loop pipes lasting even longer.
With the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), homeowners can receive up to £7,500 toward the installation cost, making GSHPs a highly attractive long-term investment.
Professional Installation, Step by Step
Mars Heating manages the entire GSHP installation process from start to finish. After an initial consultation, we’ll survey your property to determine whether horizontal ground loops or vertical boreholes are best suited. We then design a bespoke system to maximise efficiency for your home.
Although GSHPs require more groundworks than an ASHP, our experienced engineers ensure the process is smooth and professionally managed. Once installed, the system provides clean, quiet, and highly reliable heating with minimal ongoing maintenance.
Tapping into Natural Ground Energy
Ground Source Heat Pumps take advantage of the fact that just below the earth’s surface, the temperature remains fairly constant throughout the year. By circulating fluid through underground pipes, the system absorbs this steady heat and transfers it into your home. A compressor then raises the temperature to a usable level, providing heating and hot water efficiently and consistently. Because the ground’s temperature doesn’t fluctuate as much as air, GSHPs often achieve even higher efficiency rates than ASHPs
