What is a ground-source heat pump and how does it work?
Geothermal heat pumps absorb the energy from below the surface of the ground and use it to heat your home. Heat is taken from the ground in pipes and transferred into a heat exchanger before reaching the heat pump. As the temperature rises, the fluid is heated and then used to heat water.
The heated water is then distributed through your radiators, underfloor heating, or stored in a hot water cylinder. This provides you with a warm home and hot water from the taps.
Can a ground-source heat pump be used to cool my home in summer?
Yes, ground-source heat pumps offer cooling during hotter months by providing chilled water for indoor units of the heat pump. Excess water is transferred back to the heat pump.
How much does it cost to install a geothermal heat pump?
The cost to install a ground-source heat pump averages between €17,000 and €28,000 in Ireland. The figure is for the cost of the heat pump itself and for the installation required.
SEAI offers €6,500 towards your heat pump. Depending on your home, you could get up to €12,500 in total support.
How easy it is to install a geothermal heat pump will depend on how new the building is and whether the area you live in has suitable ground.
Compared to other types of heat pumps, ground-source heat pumps are more intensive to install and incur a greater cost to set up initially, however, once installed they are the most reliable.
What makes a ground-source heat pump a good choice?
Geothermal heat pumps can give the biggest savings on your energy bills and because they are situated under the surface, they are less likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions.
Further to this, ground-source heat pumps have the greatest longevity out of all types of heat pump, lasting on average around 20 years. Once this heat pump is installed, there is little to no maintenance required for the majority of cases.
This on top of the potential savings you'll make from switching to a ground source heat pump
