Groundwater heat pump

Heat is extracted from the groundwater via an extraction well and is then brought to a higher temperature level with the help of a heat pump to produce heating or hot water. Since the temperature of the groundwater is more constant and also higher in winter than the outside air temperature, groundwater heat pumps are more efficient than air-source heat pumps. Due to the more complex construction, groundwater heat pumps are particularly suitable for larger properties.

Advantages:

- No fossil fuels

- Very efficient and cost-effective operation

Disadvantages:

- High investment costs

- Long planning and approval process

- Not feasible everywhere
