Water Source- How it works...

The basic principles of a water source heat pump can be explained quickly and simply:


Groundwater heat pumps hold a special position in the heat pump sector. These systems draw heating energy not from the ground or the ambient air, but directly from the groundwater. They score highly due to particularly high efficiency and durability. Groundwater heat pumps present building owners wanting to rely on renewables for generating heat with an interesting alternative and special benefits.


Heat pumps require electricity to operate but for every unit of electricity they use, they produce upto 6 units of heat. This figure is referred to as a COP rate.


If designed correctly these systems can operate efficiently even when the outside temperature drops down to -10degC.
