With a ground source heat pump installation, we use a series of pipes called ground loops which are buried in the earth to extract heat from the ground. This heat can then be used to warm a home’s radiator network or underfloor heating system and provide hot water. The amount of ground loop required depends on the size of your property and the heat load it requires. Makes a great alternative to gas central heating.
If space is an issue, a vertical borehole can be drilled to achieve the same effective result. Discover more about our ground source heat pump installation services in Sussex and the South East.

What is a ground source heat pump and how does it work?
A ground source heat pump extracts heat from the ground using buried pipes called ground loops. This renewable heat is then used to warm your home’s radiators or underfloor heating and provide hot water. The system works year-round, taking advantage of the constant ground temperature below the surface.
How much land do I need for a ground source heat pump?
The land required depends on your property’s heat demand and whether you choose horizontal ground loops or vertical boreholes. Horizontal systems typically need a garden area 1.5-2 times the size of your property. If space is limited, vertical boreholes can be drilled to achieve the same result in a much smaller footprint.
What's the difference between horizontal and vertical ground loop systems?
Horizontal ground loops are laid in trenches approximately 1-2 meters deep and require more land area. Vertical boreholes are drilled deep into the ground (typically 50-150 meters) and require minimal surface area, making them ideal for properties with limited outdoor space.
Are ground source heat pumps eligible for grants?
Yes, ground source heat pumps can work with existing radiator systems, though they perform most efficiently with larger radiators or underfloor heating. During our free site survey, we’ll assess your current system and recommend any upgrades needed for optimal performance.
Can a ground source heat pump work with my existing radiators?
Yes, ground source heat pumps can work with existing radiator systems, though they perform most efficiently with larger radiators or underfloor heating. During our free site survey, we’ll assess your current system and recommend any upgrades needed for optimal performance.
How efficient are ground source heat pumps?
Ground source heat pumps are highly efficient, typically achieving seasonal performance factors of 3-4, meaning they produce 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. This exceptional efficiency makes them one of the most cost-effective renewable heating solutions available.
What maintenance do ground source heat pumps require?
Ground source heat pumps require minimal maintenance compared to traditional boilers. Annual servicing by qualified engineers ensures optimal performance. Your ground source heat pump system can be serviced by us even if we didn’t install it – we have the expertise to maintain your heat pump to the highest standards.
