Shared Ground Loops
A revolutionary approach to ground source heat pump installation that significantly reduces costs while providing exceptional efficiency for housing developments.
How Shared Ground Loops Work
Shared ground loops offer a way of significantly reducing the cost of ground works associated with ground source heat pumps. Ground loops are used to collect energy from the earth, circulating it to the heat pump where a compressor raises the temperature to a suitable level.
Instead of one borehole per property, a single borehole can provide enough heat energy for two or more properties (depending on depth and property size). Each property is fitted with its own heat pump so residents have full control over their energy usage.

Heat Pumps for Housing Developments
Year-round reliability and comfort that doesn't cost the earth.
The Future Homes Standard is shaping the way we design and build new homes, with particular attention to improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. From 2025 new regulations are ensuring that fossil fuels will no longer have a place in new build homes and we're already seeing a switchover taking shape as local authorities and housing associations commit to building better, more sustainable homes.
At Thermal Earth we work with property developers and their relevant teams to supply ground and air source heat pumps for reliable, high efficiency energy systems that deliver significant energy bill savings and exceptional comfort.

Benefits of Heat Pumps Systems for Homeowners
As a 'fit and forget' technology, the benefits offered by heat pumps systems for residents are unrivalled. Below are some key reasons to consider installing MasterTherm heat pumps in your properties:
- A smart self-optimising system - our heat pumps factor in weather forecasts and variable electricity tariff pricing to deliver preferred temperatures and heating schedules at the highest efficiency and lowest cost to significantly reduce energy bills.
- Low maintenance and long lifespan - thanks to our inverter technology our heat pumps benefit from longer lifespans of around 20-25 years.
- Remote monitoring - This convenient feature allows engineers to provide remote diagnostics and if ever a heat pump needs attention, our approved engineers can often get it running again without needing to set foot on the property to save time and call out costs.
- Low noise output - our heat pumps are equipped with low noise impellers and modulation flow for noise control, making them among the quietest units on the UK market.
- Simple controls - Our Heat Pumps control is an easy-to-use interface which allows residents to monitor temperatures, energy usage and even energy cost*
Shared Ground Loops
Shared ground loops offer a way of significantly reducing cost of ground works associated with the installation of ground source heat pumps. Ground loops are used to collect energy from the earth, circulating it to the heat pump where are compressor raises the temperature to a suitable level before it's directed to the heat distribution system e.g. radiators and hot water tanks. Shared ground loops are installed in boreholes which are drilled to depths of around 100m on average and instead of one borehole per property, a single borehole can provide enough heat energy for two or more properties (depending on depth of the borehole and size of the properties). Each property is fitted with its own heat pump so that residents have full control over their energy usage.
Shared ground loops provide benefits such as reduced ground work costs and faster installation. Lasting as long as 100+ years, ground loops present a new opportunity for property developers who can retain ownership of the infrastructure or sell it seperately to the properties. The owner of the ground loops can then charge a monthly connection fee in the same way a typical utility company would to generate revenue.
INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Since 2009, Thermal Earth has been the sole UK distributor of MasterTherm heat pumps. A pioneer in the heat pump industry for over two decades, MasterTherm has a wide product range of air-source and ground-source heat pumps to meet the demands of any domestic property.
MasterTherm heat pumps come fully equipped with online functionality. You’re able to control the warmth of your home through the MasterTherm app, while the manufacturer and installer can use the online connection to monitor your heat pump, making sure all is working as it should be.
VERY LOW MAINTENANCE
A major upside to homeowners, once they’ve installed a heat pump, is that they require very little ongoing maintenance. It is recommended by manufacturers and installers alike that your heat pump is serviced at least once a year. In doing so, a typical domestic heat pump has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
