What is not suitable for a Ground Heat Pump installation?
Older buildings which have not been renovated and have no plans for renovation of heating system upgrade are generally not suitable for ground source heat pump technology. This is because the heating distribution system would have been designed for higher temperature water and its effectiveness at lower temperatures cannot be guaranteed. All new buildings from 1996 to present have been designed with thermal efficiency in mind, unlike properties built prior to this. A full or partial renovation of an older building and replacement of the heating system would normally allow for a ground source heat pump installation.
