Ground source heat pumps connect the land around a home to the warmth within it. Follow the journey.
Explore the connection ↓A buried loop transfers heat from the ground. The site helps determine whether the collector can use horizontal trenches or a vertical borehole arrangement.
A conceptual explanation. Actual system layout and specifications need a property-specific design.
Available space matters. So do access, ground conditions, existing services and the building’s needs. A horizontal collector and a borehole arrangement raise different questions about the site and the work involved.
Open the planning guide ↗The amount of heat a property needs informs system design. Insulation, room layout and how the home is used are part of that conversation. Share any planned building or insulation work, even if decisions are still open.
You do not need to calculate heat loss for your first enquiry. Bring existing plans and describe what you know about the home.
Radiators, underfloor heating or a mixture form the distribution side of the system. Their relationship with the proposed heat source needs assessing; an existing arrangement does not automatically establish suitability.
Describe the rooms, current controls and hot-water storage as far as you know. If something is uncertain, mark it as a question.
The collector is only one part of the installation. Equipment location, hot-water storage, pipe routes and access also need considering. Mention tight passages, ownership or shared access, and any work already planned.
Permissions, specialist investigations and other project requirements need establishing for the actual site. The first step is understanding the context.
A renovation offers a natural moment to ask how the heating, hot water and room layout should work together. Share the proposed sequence before closing floors, walls or cabinetry.
There is no need for a finished design to start the discussion. A clear description of what will change, what must remain and who else is involved is useful context.
