What should I do before I order a ground source heat pump?

The earlier you plan your heating system and the better informed you will be and the more likely it is that you’ll acquire a well designed, environmentally and commercially sound heating system that suits your needs and is best for your home or office.

In order for us to size a heat pump for your property, we require a completed Heat Pump survey form (available from Worcester’s technical support team), we ideally need a full set of architects’ drawings showing full side elevations and glazing details.

Additional useful information includes the number of bathrooms and ground conditions.

If you have a plot map, that’s even better. The more relevant information that you give us, the more we can tailor a heating design especially for you.

On receipt of the information, we will size a system for your requirements and advise you of the estimated annual running cost. This will help you make the most informed decision possible about the choices you can make.

Our design team are happy to help you with any queries you may have.

If you’re thinking of installing a heat pump or indeed, any renewable system, you should contact the following:

• Local planning authority (if you’re in any doubt that you’ll need permission to carry out the work)

• Your electricity provider - to obtain information about cheaper electrical tariffs (eg Economy 10, 7 or other eco tariffs)
