The temperature of bedrock varies only slightly throughout the year. One or more boreholes are drilled, usually to a depth of between 70 and 150 metres, depending on geological and climatic conditions. The collector hose is fed into the borehole, which is filled with water.

EcoPart is a ground source heat pump that can be linked to an EcoLogic to provide domestic hot water. The EcoHeat combines a ground source heat pump with a hot water cyclinder in the same casing to provide your hot water solution.

An EcoPart or EcoHeat heat pump using bedrock as the source of energy can reduce the energy costs dramatically compared to traditional boilers or electrical heating.

Heat and energy from the sun is stored within the soil. An EcoPart or EcoHeat draws upon this energy by using a 200-500 metre long collector circuit buried at a frost-free depth of around one metre (depending on geological and climatic conditions) and laid in loops across the land. The collector circuit absorbs heat from the soil and uses it to vaporise the refrigerant in the heat pump, thus producing energy, which can heat your home or hot water reducing your energy costs dramatically.

An EcoPart or EcoHeat heat pump using lake water as its energy source draws the energy stored within the lake water and lake bed. The collector circuit is laid on the bottom of the waterway and carries heat to a waterside location. Using heat from a lake is highly efficient in the reduction of energy consumption for the user.
