Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs): Efficient, Sustainable, and Smart Heating for your home

 

At Melius Homes, we specialise in sustainable solutions that make your home comfortable, energy-efficient, and fit for the future. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) are an innovative way to heat your home while lowering your carbon footprint and reducing energy costs.

 

What is a Ground Source Heat Pump?

 

A Ground Source Heat Pump uses the constant warmth stored in the ground to provide reliable heating and hot water for your home. By utilising a network of buried pipes, it extracts renewable energy from the earth and converts it into usable heat, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating systems.

Benefits of GSHPs

• Energy efficiency: For every unit of electricity used, GSHPs can deliver three to four units of heat.
• Cost savings: Lower your energy bills while benefiting from financial schemes such as the UK Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).
• Eco-friendly: Reduce your home’s carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
• Low maintenance: GSHPs are designed to be durable and require minimal servicing.
• Year-round comfort: Provides heating in winter and, when equipped with reverse cycle technology, cooling in summer.

 

 

How GSHPs work

1. Ground loops: Pipes buried in the ground extract heat from the earth.
2. Heat pump unit: The extracted heat is transferred to the heat pump, which compresses it to a higher temperature.
3. Distribution system: The heat is distributed through underfloor heating, radiators, or a hot water system.
