BOiler upgrade scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a grant of £7,500 for the installation of ground source heat pump systems in England and Wales available from April 1st 2022, the funding is confirmed until March 31st 2028.
Reduced vat rate of 0%
Applies on installation of Ground Source Heat Pumps
The reduced rate of 0% will be available from April 1st 2022 for the installation of ground source heat pumps at residential accommodation.
The reduced VAT rate also applies to any necessary extra work required for the installation. For the installation of a ground source heat pump system this includes the heat pump, the ground loop, piping, system controls and any other installation ancillary to the supply.
Hughes Exploration & Environmental Ltd install ground source heat pump boreholes for domestic and non-domestic clients together with leading renewable heat pump engineers throughout the UK.
Benefits of Ground Source Heating systems:
- Government incentives available
- Lower carbon emissions
- Suitable for various property types
- Fuels both hot water and heating
- Heat pumps can also be reversed to provide cooling in summer
- Can add value to your property
Ground source heat pumps are the only renewable energy technology that can benefit from the thermal energy storage properties of the ground to recycle heat from summer to winter.We have a range of drilling rigs to suit the access of locations. All rigs are rubber-tracked and manoeuvrable, with low environmental impact. Following the drilling, installation of ‘closed’ or ‘open’ loops are installed and pressure tested in-situ. For optimum performance the borehole(s) is back-filled utilising thermally enhanced grout.
