The earth absorbs solar energy from the sun which maintains a huge sustainable solar energy store. Using a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) we can extract the stored energy from the earth using a process similar to that used in a refrigerator .This energy is converted by the GSHP into heat providing hot water and space heating.

The efficiency of these products produces 3 to 4 units of power for every unit used to extract it, which results in a CoP of between 3 and 4. Some types of existing wall mounted radiators and most under-floor heating systems work effectively with this type of renewable energy boiler. The diagram shows the key elements of a ground source heat pump.

Harvesting the stored energy from the earth requires the installation of various forms of collector loops. These may be installed horizontally into trenches and spread across a wide area of land, or inserted vertically into boreholes. Each method has its advantages by utilising the suns irradiation and geothermal heat sources, the choice is usually driven by location and geology.

EcoSaveIt's expert geologist evaluates each site ensuring the most efficient energy extraction methods are incorporated into the final system design. Our experience and use of high quality heat pump technology provide the reassurance that your system will be efficient and cost effective.

GSHP work very well in conjunction with Solar PV and we recommend consideration is given to creating an integrated system providing the capability to offset the electricity used during the generation of heating and hot water. Any system designed in this way will have the objective of providing a carbon neutral integrated system.
