Ground Source heat pumps
🌱 Ground Source Heat Pumps
Efficient • Sustainable • Future-Ready
At Greentech Renewable Solutions Ltd, we supply and install high-performance Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) — an innovative and eco-friendly way to heat your home or business by harnessing the natural warmth stored beneath the ground.
💡 What Is a Ground Source Heat Pump?
A ground source heat pump uses underground pipes to extract low-temperature heat from the earth. This renewable heat is then compressed to a higher temperature and distributed through your central heating and hot water systems.
Unlike traditional gas or oil boilers, GSHPs use electricity to move heat rather than generate it — making them far more efficient and better for the environment.
✅ Key Benefits
- Up to 400% energy efficiency
- Significantly reduces heating bills
- Compatible with underfloor heating & radiators
- Lower carbon footprint vs fossil fuels
- Eligible for financial incentives
🌍 How It Works
- A loop of buried pipes (horizontal or vertical) absorbs heat from the ground
- The system transfers this heat into your home
- Works for space heating, hot water, or both — even in winter
🏡 Ideal For
- New-builds or major renovations
- Homes with gardens or land for trenching or boreholes
- Homeowners looking to future-proof with renewable heating
🔧 Our Services Include
- System design & energy consultation
- Full installation of horizontal or vertical GSHPs
- Maintenance, service & aftercare
📈 When Will I See a Return on My Investment?
Return depends on property size, current system, usage, and incentives. Most homeowners see ROI within:
⏳ 6 to 12 years
This includes energy savings and available government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) or Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
💷 How You Save:
- 30–60% reduction in heating bills
- Lower maintenance costs
- Stable, predictable energy costs
- Long lifespan: 20–25+ years (ground loops: up to 50)
💷 Ground Source Heat Pump Costs
🔧 Installation Costs:
- Horizontal: £16,200 – £31,000
- Vertical: £23,200 – £49,000
- Average: Approx. £28,000 (before grants)
🏱 Government Grants:
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS): £7,500 grant (England & Wales)
Adjusted Average Cost: £20,500 after grant
💡 Additional Considerations:
- Annual Running Cost: ~£1,020
- Maintenance: Minimal, low-cost over time
