Ground Source Heat Pumps revolutionise heating by tapping into the consistent warmth of the earth’s surface. In the UK and across temperate latitudes, the ground maintains a stable temperature of approximately 12°C year-round. Ground Source Heat Pumps use this geothermal energy through buried heat exchangers, ranging from horizontal loops at depths of 1m to boreholes extending up to 200m. Coupled with high-efficiency heat pumps, this system delivers heating and cooling at unparalleled Coefficients of Performance (COP), minimising both financial and environmental costs.
Unlike traditional heating methods, Ground Source Heat Pumps operate with exceptional efficiency and environmental friendliness. By harnessing renewable energy from the earth, these systems produce heat without emitting harmful carbon emissions, offering a sustainable alternative to natural gas or direct electricity. With consistent temperatures below the surface throughout the year, Ground Source Heat Pumps ensure high levels of efficiency regardless of seasonal variations in air temperature.
At Gretco, we boast over 30 years of experience in installing heating systems across the UK. As an official partner of Stiebel Eltron, a leading manufacturer of renewable energy systems, we offer top-of-the-line Ground Source solutions tailored to meet the unique requirements of each property.

A GSHP is a heating system that harnesses heat from the ground to provide heating and hot water for properties. It works by circulating a mixture of water and antifreeze through pipes buried underground, where the earth’s natural warmth is absorbed and transferred to the heat pump, which then elevates the temperature for use in the home.
Yes, GSHPs are suitable for various types of properties, including houses, commercial buildings, and new construction projects. However, factors such as available land space, soil type, and property size should be considered to assess suitability and determine the most effective system design.
Installing a GSHP offers numerous benefits, including lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions, reliable year-round heating and hot water provision, eligibility for government incentives such as the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), and increased property value.
The installation process involves drilling boreholes or laying ground loops in trenches on the property, connecting them to the heat pump unit indoors, and commissioning the system for operation. Professional installation by accredited engineers ensures optimal performance and compliance with regulations.
The cost of installing a GSHP varies depending on factors such as the size and type of system, property size, geological conditions, and installation complexity. Generally, installation costs range from £10,000 to £35,000, with potential long-term savings through reduced energy bills and government incentives.
GSHPs operate silently indoors, with the only noticeable noise coming from the circulation pumps and fans, which are typically housed in well-insulated units. Proper installation and maintenance ensure minimal noise disruption, making GSHPs suitable for residential areas.
We prioritise reducing carbon emissions with every installation, contributing to a sustainable future and reducing your bills.
With more than 30 years in the industry, we offer unparalleled workmanship and experience in renewable energy systems.
