This energy can be used to heat buildings indirectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pipe is buried in the ground, either in a borehole or a horizontal trench. The pipe is usually a closed circuit and is filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze, which is pumped round the pipe, absorbing heat from the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut down on wasted electricity: heating your home with a ground source heat pump is much more efficient than using electric radiators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costs of installing a typical system range from about £7,000 to £13,000. Running costs for a year, where all hot water and space heating can be provided by the system are likely to be around £650 per year, but will depend on a number of factors - including the size of your home and how well insulated it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Savings can be considerable - up to 540kg of CO2 and £160 if you're replacing an oil-fired central heating system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To reduce your home's CO2 emissions further, consider installing solar electricity or some other form of renewable electricity generating system to power the compressor and pump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Installing a Geothermal Heat Pump WILL Save you thousands in heating and cooling costs   and WILL repay itself many times over&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine...Being Able to Save Thousands on Your Home Heating and Cooling Costs...Forever. It's Now reality&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geothermal heating and cooling technology provides exceptional performance and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agrees that a geothermal heat pump is the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and most cost-effective space conditioning system available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today’s best geothermal systems outperform the best gas technology, gas heat pumps, by an average of 36% in heating mode and 43% in cooling mode!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can save 25-50% on home electric bills compared to conventional heating and cooling systems. Imagine what you could do with the extra money in your wallet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in learning about geothermal heat pumps and how to install a system to reduce your electricity bill then this is the perfect resource for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no doubt that geothermal heat pumps are the Low Hanging Fruit of energy efficiency. What do I mean by this? Well it a bit like picking apples or oranges off a tree. The simple part of picking the fruit is the easy-to-reach apples or oranges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once these have been picked it gets harder, reaching on tippy-toes, until we finally start dragging the ladder around. Geothermal heat pumps are low-hanging-fruit, this is definitely a NO BRAINER !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This guide is full of factual information to get you fired up so you can quickly and easily make decisions to heat and cool your home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm certainly not going to insult your intelligence, by claiming this is some "secret" information. It's not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guide contains the information you need, when you need it. Put together in an easy-to-understand visual format.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If You Are Serious About Saving Money In Your Home You Need To Ask Yourself If You Can Possibly Let This Information Pass You By. Can You Honestly Live Without Picking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Low Hanging Fruit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This newly released work called Geothermal Heat Pumps: Installation Guide is the quickest and easiest way to learn about ground source heat pumps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside this comprehensive work you'll get over 200 pages of gold-mine info. Everything anyone interested in geothermal heat pumps would need.
