Accredited & certified
Up to £9,000 off your installation
The government BUS grant covers a substantial chunk of your GSHP installation cost. As MCS installers we apply on your behalf — no paperwork for you.
Oil & LPG homes
£9,000
Increased from £7,500 on 21 April 2026. Designed for rural off-gas-grid homes — typically the highest-benefit GSHP switch.
Applicable to existing oil, LPG or direct-electric heating.
Mains gas homes
£7,500
For properties currently heated by mains gas looking to decarbonise.
Eligibility same for all fuel types — we handle the application.
BUS grant applications handled by us. Timeline: 2–4 weeks approval, 6-month installation window. Scheme funded to March 2028.
Running costs — compared
Indicative annual heating costs for a typical 3-bedroom rural home using around 18,000 kWh of heat per year (approximately 2,500 litres of oil equivalent). Actual savings depend on home size, insulation and tariff.
| Heating fuel | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Oil | £2,100–2,800 |
| LPG | £2,300–3,100 |
| Mains gas | £1,200–1,700 |
| Direct electric | £3,500–5,000 |
| Ground source heat pumpRECOMMENDED | £800–1,100 |
Figures indicative, based on published UK price caps April 2026 and typical COP 3.8 for a well-designed GSHP. Your actual costs depend on home insulation, system size, and tariff — request a written estimate for your property for specific numbers.
We drill. We install. We maintain.
In-house teams, end-to-end.
Most of our GSHP competitors are renewable-energy resellers who outsource the drilling to specialist contractors. That works, but it means multiple contracts, multiple points of contact, and nobody owning the whole system.
We're different. We started as a drilling company 20+ years ago and built our GSHP installation team on top of that. When you work with us you get one team accountable for every part of the system — from the geology to the commissioning.
We own our drilling rigs
Compact rigs that fit through 5ft gaps. We control the schedule.
In-house design team
Qualified engineers size your system to your property, not to a stock catalogue.
Dedicated servicing team
Annual check-ups and rapid response from people who installed the system.

Three GSHP system types — one that's right for you
We design every system from scratch based on your geology, property and heating demand. Most domestic installations use closed-loop; some sites benefit from open-loop or river source.
Closed-loop
Vertical boreholes with sealed probes circulate a heat-transfer fluid through the ground. The most common system type, suitable for most sites. Probes typically go 100–200m deep.
Best for: most residential and commercial sites with limited garden space
Closed-loop details →Open-loop
Water is abstracted from a borehole, passed through a heat exchanger, then returned to the ground via a second borehole. Can be significantly more efficient than closed-loop systems.
Best for: larger commercial projects with suitable aquifer conditions
Open-loop details →River source
Water is abstracted from a river, canal or lake, filtered and passed through a heat exchanger before being returned downstream. Ideal for sites near watercourses.
Best for: sites close to rivers, canals or lakes with EA licensing
