Stay warm and cosy with a tailored, eco-friendly heating system for your home.
A ground source heat pump draws heat from the ground outside your home to provide warmth and hot water for your living space. By tapping into the Earth’s consistent temperature, they produce zero carbon emissions and offer a greener alternative to traditional boilers. And that’s not all.
Switching to a ground source heat pump keeps your home at a pleasant year-round temperature and leads to significant savings on your energy bills. At Bundle, we are on a mission to provide every home in the country with energy-efficient solutions and sustainable improvements that pay back.
By upgrading your home with our efficient heat pump technology, we help to ensure a better future for your household, your bank balance, and the planet.
There are a number of government grants available to help homeowners make the switch to greener energy alternatives. These grants can dramatically reduce the costs of installing a renewable energy system, making it more accessible than ever to upgrade your home sustainably.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is designed to make low-carbon heating systems more attainable for homes and small businesses in England and Wales. Under the scheme, you could benefit from an upfront grant of £7,500 to fund the installation of a ground source or air source heat pump.
You may be eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme if you:
In addition, your property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation. You can find and check your EPC certificate through the Gov.UK website (https://www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate)
The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) is a government initiative that helps with energy-saving home improvements for low-income households who are off the gas grid.
You may be eligible for the Home Upgrade Grant if:
You can find and check your EPC certificate through the Gov.UK website (https://www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate) Funding is available for both homeowners and private tenants who meet the criteria. For qualifying households, HUG sets out to address your home’s energy efficiency first, before assessing heating systems and making recommendations for a funded upgrade.
Our team can help you:
Harnessing renewable energy from the earth, ground source heat pumps tap into a natural resource that is abundant and sustainable.
Cutting back on fossil fuels means doing your bit in the fight against climate change. For the average home, a ground source heat pump can reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 55% (compared to a gas boiler).
Heat pumps consume much less energy than conventional heating methods. Excellent news for your comfort levels, energy bills, and the environment.
With regular maintenance, a ground source heat pump should last for 20 years or more. With the world feeling the impacts of climate change, it’s time for us to pull together. At Bundle, our mission is to help every home in the UK save energy, money, and the planet. We are here to guide you and our experts will help you make an informed, hassle-free investment into a greener, more sustainable future.
There are several benefits to installing a ground source heat pump at your home:
After the initial investment of a heat pump installation, you will benefit from long-term savings on your energy bills.
A ground source heat pump adds significant value to your property, thanks to a growing demand for renewable energy.
Ground source heat pumps aren’t reliant on fossil fuels and use only small amounts of electricity. They reduce your CO2 emissions considerably, making them the most environmentally friendly option on the market.
The size of your outdoor space is a consideration when planning a ground source heat pump. Trenches are the most cost-effective way of installing a system.
Pipes need to be located under the frost line at around 1.2m deep and trenches are roughly 1m wide. For context, an average 4-bedroom house may need 350 linear metres of trenching to provide enough heat transfer for the property’s heating and hot water demand.
In reality, this means for a 4 or 5 bedroom house, you would need a garden 10m x 50m or for a 3 bedroom house, it would need to be 8m x 50m.
If space is at a premium, boreholes tend to be a better option. This involves drilling down vertically (approx. max depth 150m/hole before starting another) creating a 6-8 inch hole. Each borehole is spaced apart and covered to leave no trace.
This would mean for a 4 or 5 bedroom house, you would need a garden size of 6m x 6m and for a 3 bedroom house, you would need a garden size that could accommodate either a 6m equilateral triangle or a 12m long line.
The internal plant equipment (GSHP, hot water cylinder and buffer tank) takes up more room than a traditional boiler system so consideration will need to be given as to where to site the heat pump kit.
We were impressed with the thoroughness of the survey, we were impressed with the guys who came to do the installation, we were impressed with the overall quality of the work. It’s really nice having people working with us who are very personable and very easy to have around.
