A heat pump is a modern device that is used to heat buildings and can also heat utility water. What's more, it can also cool rooms in the summer. Check out the TOP 5 best ground heat pumps.
A ground heat pump uses energy from the ground for heating. It is efficient, but requires a lot of space for installation. The heat generated in the lower heat source is transported to the upper source and distributed around the building. Within the lower source, you can choose a horizontal or vertical collector. A horizontal collector is installed at a depth of approx. 1.5 m below the ground frost zone, but this requires a large plot area. On the other hand, a vertical collector requires drilling to a depth of up to 100 m.

What to choose: ground or air heat pump?
The air pump is certainly cheaper and easier to install, but it is the ground heat pump is the most efficient and stable. At low outside temperatures, the air pump can use more energy to operate, which increases operating costs.
The air heat pump is recommended for investors who do not have a large plot of land. Investment and installation costs are lower than in the case of a ground heat pump.
