Investing in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint and achieve long-term energy savings. However, one of the most common questions we get at Hex Energy is: how much does it cost to install a ground source heat pump in the UK? While we can provide general guidance, it’s important to note that every project is unique, so exact costs can vary significantly.
Why Costs Vary
The total cost of a ground source heat pump system depends on numerous factors, such as:
- The size and heat requirements of your property.
- The type of ground array—horizontal trenches or vertical boreholes.
- Site-specific conditions, like soil type and access.
- The complexity of the system design.
At Hex Energy, our pricing includes everything to ensure a seamless experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Free, in-depth initial estimate: We start by providing a tailored estimate based on your property and energy needs.
- Comprehensive design process: This includes detailed room-by-room heat loss calculations, a full system design, and a fixed-price quote.
- All necessary materials: We supply everything required for your GSHP system.
- Full installation: From groundworks to commissioning, we handle the entire process.
- Grant application support: As an MCS-approved installer, we help you apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant (if eligible).
- On going servicing and maintenance: We offer tailored plans to ensure your system stays in top condition and remains compliant with warranty requirements.
General Cost Ranges
To give you a rough idea of costs:
- Horizontal Systems: These typically cost between £20,000 and £40,000. If you’re able to do your own trenching, this can reduce it by up to £5,000.
- Vertical Borehole Systems: These start at around £35,000. For larger properties, borehole systems can range significantly higher.
- Typical Domestic Properties (borehole): For average-sized homes, total system costs generally fall between £35,000 and £60,000. For very large or unique domestic properties, costs can go up to £100,000 or more.
