How networked heat pumps work in social housing
Networked heat pumps provide a scalable and cost-effective way to decarbonise social housing.
Using Shared Ground Loops—an innovative, renewable alternative to traditional heating—they connect individual ground source heat pumps to reduce heating bills and eliminate costly heat losses common with centralised systems.
Residents benefit from year-round comfort, full control over their heating, and the assurance of paying only for the heat they use. This efficient system delivers lower costs, greater flexibility, and consistent warmth for all.
