My son will soon be building a new house and intends to install a ground source heat pump, hopefully as a main source of hear in conjunction with solar panels. He will be location the underground pipework in a pond beside the house. The pond may be about 150 metres by 50 metres by 1.5 metres deep; it is in Perthshire. Does amyone have experience of ground source heating? How effective is it? Can it ever act even for a short while as the primary heat source? Is there an independant body that would give professional advice? Thank you.
