Ground source heat pumps: How they work
A ground source heat pump uses the earth’s natural heat to provide heating and cooling for your home, without emitting CO2 into the air. Here’s how each component works:
- A mixture of water and antifreeze is circulated through a series of pipes buried underground
- The fluid absorbs heat from the ground
- The heated fluid is then sent back into the heat pump
- The heat pump uses electricity to raise the temperature of the heated fluid
- The heated air or water is then distributed throughout your home to provide heating and hot water

FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most commonly-asked questions about ground source heat pumps here, but please speak to the team if you have any more.
What is a ground source heat pump?
A ground source heat pump is an eco-friendly and cost-effective way of heating your home. It uses coolant pumped through a coil of underground pipes to absorb heat from the ground. The heat pump then raises the temperature of the coolant and turns that heat into water. The water is then pumped around your home via radiators or underfloor heating, which also provides you with hot water. Though it may sound complicated, it’s an incredibly simple and efficient way to heat your home.
Are ground heat pumps expensive to run?
No. In fact, they can be much cheaper to run than traditional heating and cooling systems. They only use a little bit of electricity to power the pump, and they can generate up to three times as much energy as they use. This also makes them perfect to use in conjunction with a solar energy installation, so speak to our expert team if you have any questions about this.
Are ground source heat pumps a good investment?
They are more expensive to install than traditional heating and cooling systems, but they last for about 50 years and can also save you money on your energy bills, making them a wise investment in the long run. In general, you can expect to save between 20% and 50% on your energy bills by switching to a ground source heat pump.
If you have any questions relating to how efficient a ground source heat pump could be for your home, speak to our friendly team. If they don’t think it’ll be suitable for you, they’ll be able to suggest other clean energy alternatives, such as air source pumps or hydrogen boilers.
Can ground source heat pumps be used with radiators?
Yes, in fact, they’re a very common way to heat homes with ground source heat pumps. They also work equally well with underfloor heating systems.
Is a ground source heat pump right for me?
You’ll need to consider things like how much your current energy bills are, the climate in your area, the size of your home, your budget, and if you have enough land for the ground loop. We have decades of experience advising people all around the country on the best solution for their unique heating needs, so speak to us for unbiased advice and competitive quotes.
How much does a ground source heat pump cost?
This can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the type of ground loop you choose, and the amount of work involved in the installation. However, in general, you can expect to pay anywhere between £14,000 and £45,000. Air source heat pumps are cheaper, with a typical installation setting you back around £15,000.
Will a heat pump save me money on my energy bill?
You could potentially cut your energy bills by a quarter and maybe even as much as a half with a ground source heat pump. Factors such as the size of your home, the climate in your area, and the efficiency of your heat pump system influence these figures. However, in general, heat pumps are considered to be much more energy-efficient than some alternative heating solutions. To get an idea of how much you could save, speak to our expert team today.
