MEASURE: Ground/Water source heat pumps
Installation of an Ground/Water Source Heat Pump to provide heating and hot water
Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
ADVANTAGES
Probably the most efficient overall of the main types of heat pump (heat transfer is more efficient with Water Source Heat Pumps but water is more subject to seasonal temperature variations than ground); few or no visibility issues; few or no external noise issues; can provide significant savings in well-insulated, off-gas properties with good user understanding
