France is currently at the forefront of the European renewable energy transition. With the implementation of the RE2020 (Réglementation Environnementale 2020), the French government has set ambitious goals to phase out fossil fuel heating in favor of low-carbon alternatives. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), known in France as "pompes à chaleur géothermiques", have emerged as the gold standard for efficiency and stability.
In regions like the Paris Basin, the Rhone Valley, and the Aquitaine Basin, the geological conditions are exceptionally favorable for vertical boreholes and horizontal collectors. Unlike air-source systems, French geothermal solutions provide consistent performance regardless of the harsh winters in the Alps or the variable climate of the Brittany coast.
Our units achieve a COP of up to 5.2, significantly exceeding the thresholds required for French energy tax credits.
Designed for a 25-year service life, matching the long-term investment profile of French real estate developments.
Crucial for urban density in cities like Lyon and Paris; our GSHPs operate with minimal acoustic impact.
French industries, particularly in food processing and pharmaceuticals, are increasingly replacing gas boilers with high-temperature ground source heat pumps. Our industrial R134A units provide the necessary heat for sterilization and drying while reducing carbon footprints by up to 80%.
With the widespread use of Linky smart meters in France, our inverter-driven heat pumps are equipped with advanced Wi-Fi and Modbus controllers, allowing French users to optimize energy consumption during off-peak hours (Heures Creuses).
In the French greenhouse sector, geothermal energy is being used to maintain year-round temperatures for viticulture and organic vegetable production, providing a stable climate that air-source systems cannot match in efficiency.
