Installation costs vary between property costs and locations. A typical 8kw system should cost between £8,000 and £12,000 to install, including the cost of burying the ground loop in your garden. This doesn't include the cost of the heat distribution system - the radiators or under-floor heating.
Combining the installation with other building works, such as a major renovation, can help reduce installation costs.

Running costs and savings: with a Ground Source Heat Pump, you do need to pay for some electricity to run it. The system needs electricity to drive the compressor and pump. Generally they produce 2.5 to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
The cost of electricity and the amount saved will depend on the fuel replaced. However, you can reckon on saving around £400 to £800 off your annual heating bill. This can also equate to a saving of 2 to 8 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. So this really is one of the best measures you can take to reduce your family's carbon emissions.
Heat Pumps have very low maintenance costs, and can be expected to provide reliable and environmentally-friendly heating for over 20 years.
If national grid electricity is used to power the system then an economy 7 tariff usually gives the lowest running costs
