The pump performs the same role as a boiler in a central heating system. But it uses ambient heat from the ground, rather than burning fuel to generate heat.
Unlike gas and oil boilers, heat pumps deliver heat at lower temperatures over much longer periods
Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, but the heat they extract from the ground, the air, or water is constantly being renewed naturally.
You can expect them to operate for 20 years or more.
The benefits of Ground Source Heating Pumps
Due to the governments fossil fuel commitment – all new builds will not have Gas heating systems.
