GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) use pipes, buried underground to extract heat from the earth.
These pipes are called a ground loop, the size of the ground loop depends on the size of your property and the amount of heat required. If space is limited an alternative can be to drill boreholes instead.
They are an incredibly efficient heating method as they transfer heat rather than generating it, offering efficiencies of 400%, compared to around 90% for an A rated gas boiler.
GSHPs are eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
BOILER UPGRADE SCHEME (BUS)
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) supports the decarbonisation of heat in buildings. It provides upfront capital grants to support the installation of heat pumps and biomass boilers in homes and non-domestic buildings in England and Wales.
Acting on behalf of property owners, we, as certified installers, can apply for £7,500 off the cost and installation of an air source heat pump or ground source heat pump.
£450 million of grant funding is available over three years from 2022 to 2025.
