On a stretch of Brooklyn's waterfront, the 34-story Riverie looks like any other high-rise in New York City's crowded skyline. But beneath its foundation, an invisible network of boreholes extends hundreds of feet into the ground to tap Earth's natural reservoir of warmth. Instead of burning fossil fuels, the Riverie relies on geothermal energy; it uses the steady temperature underground to warm apartments in winter and cool them in summer.

If you're considering using a ground source heat pump to heat your home, you could be wondering what type of ground source heat pump problems you may encounter. Or, perhaps you have one and have a few niggles you can't ignore. It's not unsurprising that with the installation process involving pipework being buried deep underground, finding the root of any problems may seem like a daunting prospect and one you're keen to avoid.
