Ground Source Heat Pump
A ground source heat pump system is an efficient and environmentally responsible heating technology available to homeowners today. By extracting naturally stored heat from the ground beneath your property and converting it into usable warmth for your home, a ground source heat pump can significantly reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and lower your long-term heating costs.
McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating installs ground source heat pumps using CTC, a brand recognised for its quality and reliability, and our team brings considerable expertise to every project.
How Ground Source Heat Pumps Work
A ground source heat pump system uses a network of pipes, known as a ground loop, buried in the garden or grounds of your property. A water and antifreeze solution circulates through this loop, absorbing heat stored in the ground throughout the year. This heat is then compressed and transferred indoors to provide central heating and hot water.
Because the ground maintains a relatively constant temperature even during winter, the system operates efficiently year-round, typically producing several units of heat energy for every unit of electricity used to power it. This ratio, known as the coefficient of performance, makes ground source heat pumps one of the most energy-efficient heating options available.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme and What It Means for You
The government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides eligible homeowners with a grant to help cover the upfront cost of replacing an existing boiler with a low-carbon heating system. Depending on your circumstances and existing heating system, the scheme offers grants of up to £9,000, making renewable heating more affordable.
McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating can advise you on eligibility for the BUS scheme as part of the initial consultation process, helping you understand exactly what financial support may be available to you before you commit to any work.
