Where are Ground Source Heat Pumps located?
The heat pump should ideally be located on a ground floor (ideally in a utility room or garage on an eternal wall). The pipe loop is buried within the ground up to a depth of 1 metre and is not visible. A manifold type system is used where more than two pipe tails are present which is located within a manhole. A single flow and return is then taken into the utility room or garage where the heat pump is situated. This can be through the wall or up through the floor.
