By installing ground or air source heating, you can create a warm home for you and your tenants and future-proof your bills – all at the same time as reducing your carbon footprint. Funding may also be available for your heating project. As no building is too big for a well-designed heat pump system, we can also provide temperature maintenance for large agricultural processing or warehouse facilities.

• Future-proof your bills

  The cost of heating large buildings using aging or expensive oil or gas systems can be a significant sum. Take control of your heating costs and future-proof your bills – renewable heating offers a more energy efficient option that also shields you from the volatility of fossil fuel prices.

  You could also consider adding solar or wind power to generate electricity to run your heat pump and further reduce your operating costs.

• Receive government incentives

  By switching the heating of your farmhouse to ground or air source, you may be eligible for the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which provides a one-off upfront grant of £7,500. The same applies for self-builds, barn conversions, and privately rented farm properties.

  More details of all schemes available can be found on our Funding page.

• Utilise your assets

  The land available on country estates and farms is perfect for the ground loop required for ground source heating. As the loop is laid 1.2metres beneath the surface, you can continue to use the land – meaning you can harness energy from below the ground while still growing crops on it or for grazing etc.

  As an air source heat pump does not require a collector loop, such installations cost less. Although air source is ideal for smaller buildings, we do also offer larger capacity commercial air source systems for bigger projects – up to and including the largest glasshouses or processing facilities.

  The nature of ground and air source heating can also be beneficial to helping maintain the condition of your property and contents, as it provides a consistent, controlled warm temperature rather than short blasts of heat from conventional boilers.

• Hassle free

  Heat pumps offer significant advantages over other renewable systems such as biomass. Biomass can be extremely labour intensive and require a large space for the furnace and storage. A heat pump can simply be positioned in a small plant room or inside an existing outbuilding and left to run on its own.

• Easy servicing and maintenance

  As heat pumps do not involve any combustion, servicing and maintenance is usually straightforward. An added benefit of choosing Finn Geotherm to design and install your heat pump, is that we also have an in-house servicing and maintenance team who can attend to your system for years to come.

• District heating

  District heating (also known as communal heating) is another option available for this kind of project, enabling a number of properties or buildings to be linked to one heat pump. See our district heating page to find out more.
