A Guide to Ground Source Heat Pumps

Sustainable comfort starts beneath your feet

Discover the Power of Ground Source Heat Pumps

At eastbrooke homes, we believe in creating homes that are as kind to the planet as they are comfortable to live in. That’s why on The Lower Acre, part of the One Horton Heath development, we have installed ground source heat pumps (GSHP) a renewable heating and cooling solution that provides reliable, low-cost energy all year round. Our ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) represent our values: sustainability, long-term performance, and a genuine commitment to delivering reliable solutions for modern living.

What Is a Ground Source Heat Pump?

A ground source heat pump is a renewable heating system that extracts low-temperature solar energy stored in the ground using buried pipework and compresses this energy into a higher temperature. A ground source heat pump provides a building with 100% of its heating and hot water all year round.

How Efficient Are GSHPs?

GSHPs can deliver up to 4 kilowatts of heat for every 1 kilowatt of electricity they use: that’s up to 400% efficiency.

Compared to a modern boiler, you’ll enjoy:
• Greater energy savings
• Lower carbon emissions
• Smarter operation with dynamic energy tariffs
Thanks to smart controls and agile tariffs, our systems can even shift their usage to times of day when electricity is cheapest and cleanest.

Why choose an eastbrooke home with a ground source heat pump?

Keep your home perfectly comfortable year-round with a ground source heat pump. No constant thermostat adjustments. Your heating system will be pre-set to ensure maximum efficiency and low energy bills. Just simple, affordable, and sustainable heating and cooling that works for you.
