Do I Live Somewhere Suitable for a Water Source Heat Pump?

As homeowners and building managers look for ways to cut energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, water source heat pumps (WSHPs) are gaining serious attention. But one common question is: “Can I actually install one where I live?”

Let’s explore what makes a location suitable — and why LinkedGo Water Source Heat Pumps are designed to perform efficiently across a wide range of environments.

What Is a Water Source Heat Pump?

A water source heat pump uses natural water bodies — such as lakes, rivers, wells, or even groundwater loops — as a stable and renewable source of thermal energy.

In winter, it extracts heat from the water to warm your space. In summer, it reverses the process to provide cooling. Because water temperatures remain much more constant than air, WSHPs offer high efficiency and reliability all year round.

Ideal Conditions for a Water Source Heat Pump

You might be surprised to learn that many places are suitable for WSHPs. The key factors include:

1. Availability of a Water Source

Natural water bodies: If you have access to a lake, pond, or river nearby, you already have a great starting point.

Groundwater wells: Even a borehole or well with sufficient flow rate and stable temperature can serve as an ideal heat source.

Closed-loop systems: If natural water isn’t available, these systems circulate water through buried pipes or man-made ponds.

2. Stable Water Temperature

For maximum efficiency, the water source should remain between 5°C and 25°C throughout the year.

This is why WSHPs are especially popular in Europe, North America, and regions with moderate climates.

3. Site Access and Space

Some space is needed for heat exchanger coils or piping installation, but water source systems usually take up less space than air source heat pumps, especially in commercial or multi-building setups.

4. Local Regulations

Always check environmental regulations and water use permissions — LinkedGo engineers can provide full support during planning and design to ensure compliance and efficiency.
