⚠️ Before you read on: These systems can be very expensive to install – between £24,000 and £50,000 depending on whether the pipes can be laid in trenches or a borehole is required. It may also cost more than heat using mains gas, as the systems run on electricity. Due to the high costs and specific criteria for install, these systems are rarely covered in full by government grants.

Ground source heat pumps (or ‘ground to water pumps’) extracts heat from the ground using pipes buried underground. You will need a ‘wet system’ (radiators or underfloor heating) to be compatible with a ground source heat pump.

Is your home suitable?

There are several criteria needed for a home to suit a biomass boiler:

  • Your property is not listed building or in a conservation area. To check contact your local council’s planning department.
  • Your property does not sit within a smoke control zones.
  • Check that you have a large enough space to store fuel, allow deliveries, and feed the boiler.
  • Check you have a local fuel supplier.
  • Make sure the biomass heating system is sized correctly to the room that it will be placed.
  • Check that you have enough room for a flue, which meets the regulations for a wood-burning appliance.
