Ground Source Heat Pumps
The advantages of using a Stiebel Eltron ground source heat pump.
The magic of heat pumps is that they can use ground with an average temperature of 10 degrees to heat hot water to up to 60 degrees all year round. This is because, although the ground loop may only gather a few units of energy per metre of the loop, it makes this small gain across a very large area in which the heat is constantly replenished by the sun and precipitation. This adds up to a lot of units of energy which can then be concentrated into the relatively small area of your home.

Why are ground source heat pumps so green and efficient?
With such a high proportion of the heat output from a heat pump coming from a sustainable environmental source, CO2 emissions are substantially lower than traditional fossil fuel systems. This helps to reduce your carbon emissions and save the planet.
What is a buffer tank for?
For air source heat pumps the need for a buffer is even greater than for ground source pumps. The heat exchanger in air source pumps runs much colder than ambient temperatures, and as a result it becomes frosted with ice. Air source pumps must periodically work in reverse to defrost the exchanger. A buffer tank provides a source of heat to steal for this purpose, without robbing heat from the property being heated. Without this dedicated store of heat, an air source machine can start to take heat from a house, actually reducing the temperature of the property in a downward cycle.
Heat pumps, like cars, are less efficient if they start and stop frequently. Buffer tanks allow a pump to run for longer periods of time increasing efficiency. If a single room calls for heat it can use energy stored in the buffer tank first, delaying the need to start the pump again.
