COMPLETE RENEWABLE SOLUTIONS - New division of COMPLETE ELECTRICAL LTD. Established in January 2003. We specialise in gas and electrical installations, central heating installations, refurbishments and maintenance; carrying out work all over the North West of England, Yorkshire, and London.

Geothermal energy originates from the heat retained within the Earth's core since the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface.

Most high temperature geothermal heat is harvested in regions close to tectonic plate boundaries where volcanic activity rises close to the surface of the Earth. In these areas, ground and groundwater can be found with temperatures higher than the target temperature of the application. However, even cold ground contains heat, and it may be extracted with a geothermal heat pump.

Due to recent advances in heat pump performance, this is now a rapidly growing market.

Ground source heat pumps convert low-level heat from solar energy stored in the earth into high-grade heat for use in buildings, using a heat exchanger. In order to absorb heat from the ground, these heat pumps require an underground pipe, known as a ' ground loop'. (see picture above)

Water and anti-freeze is pumped around this pipe to absorb underground heat. The heated water is then delivered to the heat pump, usually located inside the building.

While ground source heat pumps use a renewable heat source, their heat exchangers must be driven by gas or electricity. They are therefore only classified as a renewable energy technology when the power used to drive them is supplied by a renewable energy source, such as a wind turbine.

Reduce your CO2 emissions: on average a ground source heat pump could save around 540kg of carbon dioxide every year when replacing an oil boiler.

Eliminate your fuel bills: ground source heat pumps run on electricity, so there's no need to pay for gas, oil or solid fuels to heat your home.

Cut down on wasted electricity: heating your home with a ground source heat pump is much more efficient than using electric radiators.
