Since the earth absorbs energy released from the sun, underground temperatures remain constant year-round. In the UK, the temperature of the Earth a few metres below our feet is constant at around 8°C.
A Ground Loop System draws the heat from the ground itself and uses a continuous loop of pipes connected to the indoor heat pump. Typically a loop system will require a minimum of half an acre of land adjacent to your property, if space is an issue, then bore holes may be an option.
GSHP boreholes are vertical ground arrays or collectors used to extract heat energy from the earth. They save space and minimise disruption in heat pump installation projects.
