Geothermal heating is a term for the hot rock effect which is found within
the earths crust. High temperatures occur deep below the surface of the earth
due to the earth’s core, volcanic and pressurised environments. This leads to
higher temperatures within the ground at great depth. Geothermal heating is also
a term used apply to ground source heat pumps. In truth there is not correlation
between the Ground Source Heat Pumps and Geothermal Heating.
Geothermal is true naturally occurring heat which is not related to Heat Pump
Technology. This occurs many miles below the surface of the Earth and is
generated by internal forces below the surface. The generation of Heat for Heat
Pump Technology is created by a mixture of Solar Power and Thermo Dynamics. Both
of these combine with a Ground Source Heat Pump or Air Source Heat Pump allow
for energy to be harnessed and converted into:
Hot Water for baths/showers etc
Hot water for Central Heating Systems
Comfort Cooling
The common element in Geothermal activity and Heat Pump technology is that both
are found as naturally occurring eco friendly events without a man made carbon
footprint which provides an ideal alternative to traditional power sources. Eco
Heat Pumps provide a range of commercial products and services including:
Domestic & Commercial application
Design, Supply & Installation of Ground Heat Pumps
Financial assistance including Grants for Ground Source Heat Pumps
