Ground source heat pump installation

How deep you need to dig for your ground source heat pump can depend on the geology around your plot, but also the heat demands of your home. You’ll also need space inside your house for an indoor heat pump too. On average you can dig anywhere between 75-200 metres deep into ground for your heat pump.

The ground source heat pump is quite large, so a reasonable size of land is needed for installation. Most average systems will require anything between 600-1200 square metres of land. But you’ll want to make sure you have excess around this in case more or less is needed for the pipe loops.

For those who are looking for optimal measures to efficiently heat their home in a clean way, combining your ground source heat pump with solar thermal technology will maximise this. When combined, it can improve the self-sufficiency of your property, save you money and if you have a renewable electricity provider your system will be 100% carbon free.
