River Source Design

Each river source system is individually designed, taking into account the amount of heat required for the building, the water volumes available from the river, the method in which we can abstract the water and discharge, and the ground source heat pump system itself. This method may also be used with any open, flowing water source such as estuaries, seas and oceans. We work closely with the Environment Agency to manage and understand their requirements and work closely with them to obtain the relevant licences, if required. We have been designing and installing open loop systems for over five years. These can be some of the most efficient renewable heating systems available.

As every project is individual, please contact us to discuss your design.

A river source heat pump is an economical and efficient renewable energy solution. Any large water source closely situated to a building is an ideal energy source for a heat pump. The water source is used to produce around three quarters of your heating and hot water needs in turn reducing your electricity consumption.  This system reduces your carbon footprint and can significantly reduce heating bills too.

Although GSHPs are very much associated with country properties, we are increasingly asked to install them at town properties, including homes in central London.

Not are all GSHPs installed in modern properties. Owners of older and period properties are discovering their benefits and we are now frequently connecting GSHPs to conventional gas/oil or electric central heating systems.

Whatever your specific needs, our focus on client service and efficient project management means the disruption to your home will be minimal and we will communicate with you at every stage of the project.  Our team has unrivalled experience of installing ground source heat pumps on residential or domestic sites.

We are MCS accredited installers of Ground Source Heat Pumps.  For a domestic system The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides £6,000 for installing a GSHP provided certain criteria are met.

Although GSHPs are very much associated with rural sites, we are increasingly asked to install them at urban locations.  Not are all GSHPs installed in modern properties. Both new and existing commercial properties are discovering their benefits including the ability to connect GSHPs to conventional gas/oil or electric central heating systems.
