Considerations
You need the right geological condition at the site for this technology to be viable – please contact a specialist for advice.
These systems are best suited to new-build projects when they can be included in the building design. Installing the system will also require a large amount of civil engineering works.
Ground-source heat pumps need electricity to run – however the output exceeds the required electrical input.
Payback period
You could easily heat a small office with a 5-10kW system, costing £5,000-£10,000
Installing systems into existing buildings is more expensive than incorporating them into ‘new builds’.
