Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps are a brilliant way of making use of the heat that is stored naturally in the ground or a nearby water source. They transform this dormant energy into usable heat that can be used in your property's radiators, underfloor heating or hot water systems. Meridian Cooling are market leaders in the installation and maintenance of this type of heating solution.
How do ground source heat pumps work?
Ground source heat pumps work as they suggest – absorbing heat from the ground (even at low temperatures) into a fluid within a pipe loop buried in the ground. This fluid is pumped to the heat exchanger, where the energy is given up via the refrigeration system to your building's heating and hot water circuits. The cooled fluid is then pumped back out into the ground loop to absorb more heat energy.

Ground source heat pumps offer yields higher than 400%, so only 1 kW of electricity is needed to provide a home with between 4 and 5 kW of heat. Therefore, ground source heat pumps are certainly an energy efficient choice.
The heat from a ground source heat pump can be used for space heating through radiators and under-floor heating, and hot water.
Yes ground source heat pumps are ideal for commercial use, however there has to be a suitable space to bury either horizontal or vertical loop pipe work in the ground.
Ground source heat pumps are installed all across the UK & Europe.
Ground source use the energy from the ground to extract heat, air sourced use the air around us.
