GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Sometimes referred to as a ground-to-water heat pump , a ground source heat pump transfers heat from the ground outside to warm the inside of your home .
A mixture of water and antifreeze called thermal transfer fluid ( TTF ) flows around pipes buried in your outdoor space . Heat from the soil is absorbed into the fluid and passes through a heat exchanger , which extracts the heat of the fluid and transfers it to your radiators , underfloor heating system or hot water cylinder for your hot taps and showers .
According to the Energy Saving Trust , benefits of owning a ground source heat pump include cutting the cost of your fuel bills , reducing your home ' s carbon footprint and being able to heat your home as well as your water .
