Clean, green, government subsidised geothermal heating solutions for small- and self-builders

  • Are you self building a house in Britain, or are you one of the UK's small home building companies?
  • Are you wondering about your heating (and cooling) options?
  • Answering yes so far?
  • Then you're probably concerned about costs, efficiency and which fuel source you should choose...

There are many critical decisions to make when planning a residential construction project.  A fundamental one relates to determining, designing, and installing the best infrastructure for heating, cooling, and hot water. 

Issues to consider include whether you can access the mains grid or not.  If not, should you install a heating oil tank or commit to the permanent rental of an LPG storage tank?  And what about the government’s plan to ban gas boilers in new builds after 2025?

Nearly 20% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions come from domestic heating.  People now understand the priority of reducing this, to achieve net zero ambitions, rests with all of us.  It is not a responsibility any of us can shy away from.

With this in mind, if you are still considering a brand-new fossil fuel boiler, did you know the best, most expensive only achieve 90% efficiency?  The remaining energy is emitted from your flue, making fossil fuel boilers extremely wasteful and polluting. 

Have you considered your renewable heating options instead? 

At Igne, we have suitable solutions that span a single dwelling to small residential developments – and scale up to heat (and cool) entire residential districts.

Most people have heard of air source heat pumps, but you can also extract heat from water and the ground beneath your feet.  The efficiency you achieve depends on which medium you take your heat from.

Systems that take heat from the air are subject to very large ambient fluctuations in temperature – meaning when it is cold and you need your heating the most, an air source supply’s efficiency is less.  The same applies to heating solutions that utilise water.

Therefore, whether you are a small- or self-builder, or a large constructor contemplating the best heating solution for your new property or properties, consider joining the wave of environmentally conscious homeowners across the UK who are opting for geothermal renewable heating systems for warmth, cooling and hot water.

Geothermal heating taps into the constant and abundant warmth generated deep within the Earth’s crust.  Temperatures are typically 12 to 14 degrees Celsius when you drill to below 25 meters below ground level.

Unlike air or water-based systems, geothermal heat remains consistent even during the coldest days, ensuring your home stays comfortably warm year-round.  Today’s efficient heat pumps work in reverse as well, ensuring yours is a naturally cooled home during the summer months.

Geothermal heat pumps boast impressive efficiencies, with a typical rating of 450%. This means that for every kilowatt of electricity consumed, you'll enjoy 4.5 kilowatts of heat output, making geothermal heating the most efficient option available today.

The good news, is through our partnership with relevant authorities, we can facilitate your access to government incentives, offering up to £7,500 towards the cost of each geothermal heating installation.  

We know that every home is unique, and so are its heating, cooling, and hot water requirements.  Our experienced team will work closely with you to design and install a bespoke geothermal system that meets your specific needs, whether it's for heating, hot water, or even a swimming pool.

Our geothermal heating systems are proudly endorsed by Eco-Forest, ensuring that your choice contributes to preserving our planet's precious resources.  By eliminating the need for fossil fuels, you'll be making a tangible difference in reducing carbon emissions and safeguarding the environment for future generations.

Finally, all Igne geothermal heating systems are also regulated by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and backed by our many years of expertise in geothermal heat installations.  We've been at the forefront of delivering sustainable heating solutions for decades, ensuring reliability and efficiency for your peace of mind.
