A system for a domestic house (uses around 25kWh of heating a year for both space heating and domestic hot water), using a horizontal piping installation, will cost between £15,000 and £20,000 and will provide all the heating and hot water needs for an average household. However, if you do not have the land availability for a horizontal piping network then costs can increase significantly for vertical piping and bore holes.
The cost of installation and the efficiency of the system can also be more viable on new builds or complete renovations, when ground work and under floor heating can both be installed whilst other work is being done.
For more specific costing you need to have a site survey by Cernunnos-Homes. This is because the efficiency and size of any system that may be needed depends on so many factors. The SAP appraisal will be a starting point, but it may also be that your property is not suited to a GSHP. However, never fear, Cernunnos-Homes can find the renewable energy system that is most suited for your property and finances!
