A ground source heat pump is an electrical appliance, using electricity to operate the compressor and pumps. For every 1kW of electricity used to operate the heat pump, up to 4.5kW of heat energy can be provided to the house for heating and hot water. A heat pump will reduce the CO2 emissions from a domestic property by up to 35 to 40%.
