How does a ground source heat pump work?

The ground just a few metres below the surface maintains a stable temperature, in Yorkshire, typically 9°C to 11°C year-round. For every 1kW of electricity used, a ground source heat pump typically produces 3.5–4.5kW of usable heat (SCOP).

BUS grant for qualifying intallations

Horizontal ground loop

Pipes laid in shallow trenches 1.2–1.5m deep. More cost-effective, ideal for rural North Yorkshire properties with adequate garden space. Land fully reinstated after installation.

Best for: properties with 400m²+ outdoor space

Verticle borehole

Boreholes drilled 80–150m deep. Ideal where outdoor space is limited. More consistent year-round performance and a smaller surface footprint.

Best for: smaller plots, conversions, listed buildings

Is your property suitable?

GOOD INDICATORS

  • Detached or semi-detached home with outdoor space

  • Currently on oil, LPG, or electric heating

  • Property is well insulated or recently upgraded

  • Underfloor heating or oversized radiators

  • Rural or semi-rural North Yorkshire location

  • Homeowner looking to reduce long-term energy bills

Not sure if your property qualifies?

A free site survey is the only reliable way to know. We’ll assess your ground conditions, property size, and existing heating, at no cost and with no obligation.

Switching from oil or LPG?

Ground source is the most cost-effective
long-term replacement

Oil and LPG prices are volatile. A ground source heat pump locks in a consistent, low running cost and the £9,000 BUS grant significantly offsets the upfront investment.

Commercial Ground Source Heat Pump Installation

Ground source heat pumps are well suited to small commercial properties, particularly those off the gas grid, running on oil or LPG, or with high heating demands across extended hours.

We install systems for property owners and developers across North Yorkshire, managing the full project from site survey and MCS documentation through to commissioning and handover. Grant support is available for some commercial property types under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we’ll confirm eligibility at survey stage.

Properties we work with: holiday homes and short-term lets, rural offices and workshops, new build developments, small care homes and residential facilities, rental properties requiring heating upgrades.

If you’re a landlord, developer, or business owner looking to reduce energy spend and meet carbon targets, a ground source heat pump is worth a serious look, particularly for rural North Yorkshire properties where mains gas isn’t an option.

Why choose Beatson Plumbing & Heating

    Based in North Yorkshire, not a national call centre passing leads to subcontractors. You get the same engineer from survey through to commissioning and aftercare.

  • All major GSHP brands

    We install NIBE, Vaillant, Kensa, and Stiebel Eltron systems, and recommend the right brand for your property, not just the one with the best margin.

  • We handle the BUS grant paperwork

    The Boiler Upgrade Scheme involves MCS documentation, Ofgem applications, and EPC checks. We manage the whole process for you.

  • 10+ years in heating

    Beatson Plumbing has been installing and servicing heating systems in North Yorkshire for over a decade. Heat pumps are our newest specialism, built on a long track record with homeowners across the region.

We recently had an air source heat pump installed at our home in Kirk Hammerton. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable about heat pumps and explained everything clearly and answered all our questions without any pressure.

We have been really pleased with the whole experience. From the first survey through to installation day, the team were friendly, reliable and professional.

The system has been running really well, and the house is noticeably warmer. Really glad we chose a local company that clearly knows their stuff. Would happily recommend Andrew and the team to anyone considering a heat pump installation
