FAQ – frequently asked questions
What depth of a borehole should I choose for a heat pump?
The total depth of the borehole is affected by many factors that we calculate and analyse in order to select the optimal solution that will not expose the customer to unnecessary costs and will avoid oversizing of the heat pump installation, The depth of the boreholes is affected by geology and expected power of the heat pump, among other things.
What does a borehole for a ground source heat pump look like?
As a rule, bore holes have a depth of 50-100 meters and must be vertical. Sometimes their depth may reach 200 meters. Polyethylene pipes tipped with a probe and filled with glycol which thanks to its properties ensures a stable access to energy are placed in their centre. The number and length of probes depend both on local conditions and the energy demand of the building.
What conditions must be met before drilling a borehole?
The request accompanied by a geological design is required for drilling. These works may be performed only by qualified installation teams. Works are performed throughout the year except of the days when the temperature drops below 0°C.
Is it possible to drill boreholes for very large buildings?
The response to the increased demand for energy of buildings with a large area is the increase in number of bore holes and collectors so as to obtain appropriate amount of energy.
How does a ground source heat pump operate?
In a nutshell, the ground source heat pump does not produce energy itself, but only transfers the energy accumulated in natural sources such as the ground. This energy is extracted and transferred to the building by means of special bore holes intended for ground source heat pumps. The structures of bore holes are made of plastic pipes filled with glycol which perfectly releases the accumulated heat higher, up to the surface. The installation terminated at the building heats water in the entire building.
What subsidies can be obtained for the drilling a borehole and installing a heat pump?
Both the bore hole and the purchase and installation of the heat pump may be even more profitable thanks to numerous local heat source replacement programs and the national “My Heat” and “Clean Air” programs. In total, the cost of grants that may be obtained can cover up to 70% of the investment.
How much does a borehole for a heat pump cost?
All depends of the type of ground, the depth and the number of bore holes. We encourage you to contact us or to use the form if you want to get real calculation.
