Save Money, Go Green – Get a Geothermal Heat Pump!
A geothermal heat pump, sometimes also called a ground source heat pump, is a revolutionary new breed of central heating and cooling system that pumps heat to or from the ground. A geothermal heat pump uses the earth itself as both a source of heat source in the winter and as a heat sink in the summer.
Depending on location, about the first 3 metres of the Earth’s surface below our feet maintains a constant temperature between 10 and 16 °C (50 and 60 °F). Ground source heat pump design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the Earth’s crust to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling your home or business.
Geothermal heat pumps are a fantastic alternative to old-fashioned boilers in buildings, and are especially effective when paired with a modern solar heating system from Ecopopulous for even greater efficiencies and cost savings. Let us perform a full consultation for you today, so that you can see all the ways you can save money and the environment at the same time!
How Much Do Ground Source Heat Pumps Save?
Heat pumps can transfer heat against the natural direction of flow, or they can enhance the natural flow of heat from a warm area to a cool one. With Ecopopulus technology, this process is highly energy-efficient and consumes very little electricity. Heat pumps are always more efficient at heating than pure electric heaters, even when extracting heat from cold winter air. Our geothermal pump systems at Ecopopulus reach very high efficiencies (300%-600%) on the very coldest winter nights, compared to 175%-250% for air-source heat pumps.
Even though initial setup costs are somewhat higher than conventional systems, the difference is usually returned in energy savings in just 3 to 10 years. Also, the more your home is insulated, the more money you’ll save from a new heat pump – so feel free to ask our contractor about low-cost insulation upgrade options in your home as well. We will carefully assess your property and provide a comprehensive free estimate. Call us now at 0800 4587 413 or CLICK HERE to start saving money today!
