Ground Source Heat Pump Installation in Ireland
Smart Heating from the Ground Up for Irish Homes & Businesses
Looking for a long-term, eco-friendly heating solution that works year-round? Ground source heat pumps (also known as geothermal heat pumps) tap into the stable underground temperatures to provide consistent and highly efficient heating and hot water. Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, these systems lower energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, and qualify for generous SEAI grants. With over 25 years of experience, we deliver expert system design, installation, and support — from the first consultation to ongoing maintenance.
GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
What Are Ground Source Heat Pumps?
Ground source heat pumps extract natural heat stored beneath the earth’s surface through underground pipe loops. This renewable energy is then used to heat your home, business, or hot water tank — even in colder months. Unlike traditional systems, they don’t burn fuel but move heat, making them incredibly efficient and sustainable.
The ground temperature remains relatively constant throughout the year, ground source systems deliver reliable performance regardless of the weather. This makes them an ideal long-term investment for consistent heating, reduced energy bills, and lower carbon emissions — all while increasing the value and energy rating of your property.

COST
What Will It Cost to Install a Ground Source Heat Pump?
Installation costs depend on property type, land availability, and system complexity. Here’s a general estimate:
- Residential (Detached Home): €15,000 – €30,000
- Commercial / Agricultural Building: €30,000 – €60,000+
TYPES
Types of Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps vary by site, energy needs, and installation. Here are the most common types:
01
Horizontal Loop Systems
These systems use shallow trenches where pipes are laid horizontally. Ideal for properties with ample outdoor space, horizontal loops offer effective performance with minimal disruption.
02
Vertical Loop Systems
Where space is limited, vertical loops are the go-to solution. Pipes are drilled deep into the ground, making this type ideal for urban or compact sites while still delivering high efficiency.
03
Slanted or Diagonal Boreholes
This hybrid method allows for customized borehole angles and is often used when site conditions don’t allow standard vertical drilling but still require a deep reach.
04
Pond or Lake Loop Systems
If your property has a nearby water body, loops can be submerged in it. This method is cost-effective and maximizes efficiency by taking advantage of stable water temperatures.
COMPONENTS
Ground Source Heat Pump Components
GSHPs use buried ground loops filled with a special antifreeze solution to absorb heat from the earth. That heat is transferred into your property’s central heating and hot water systems via a compressor and heat exchanger.
Ground Loop
Buried pipes that absorb natural heat from the soil.
Heat Exchanger
Transfers heat from ground loop fluid to your heating system.
Compressor
Boosts the temperature of the collected heat.
Hot Water Cylinder
Stores and supplies heated water efficiently.
