Year-Round Reliability & Comfort That Doesn't Cost the Earth

The Future Homes Standard is shaping how we design and build new homes, with particular attention to improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. From 2025, new regulations ensure that fossil fuels will no longer have a place in new build homes.

Benefits of Heat Pumps for Homeowners

As a 'fit and forget' technology, the benefits offered by MasterTherm heat pumps for residents are unrivalled

🧠

Smart Self-Optimising

Our heat pumps factor in weather forecasts and variable electricity tariffs to deliver the highest efficiency and lowest cost.

Long Lifespan

Thanks to inverter technology, our heat pumps benefit from longer lifespans of around 20-25 years.

📡

Remote Monitoring

Engineers can provide remote diagnostics and often fix issues without visiting the property.

🔇

Low Noise Output

Equipped with low noise impellers and modulation flow control, among the quietest units on the UK market.

📱

Simple Controls

Easy-to-use interface allows residents to monitor temperatures, energy usage and costs.

🔧

Low Maintenance

Heat pumps require minimal servicing — just an annual check keeps systems running perfectly.

Shared Ground Loops

A revolutionary approach to ground source heat pump installation that significantly reduces costs while providing exceptional efficiency for housing developments.

How Shared Ground Loops Work

Shared ground loops offer a way of significantly reducing the cost of ground works associated with ground source heat pumps. Ground loops are used to collect energy from the earth, circulating it to the heat pump where a compressor raises the temperature to a suitable level.

Instead of one borehole per property, a single borehole can provide enough heat energy for two or more properties (depending on depth and property size). Each property is fitted with its own heat pump so residents have full control over their energy usage.

An Opportunity for Developers

Shared ground loops present a unique business opportunity for forward-thinking property developers

Retain Ownership, Generate Revenue

Ground loops lasting 100+ years present a new opportunity for property developers who can retain ownership of the infrastructure or sell it separately to the properties. The owner of the ground loops can then charge a monthly connection fee in the same way a typical utility company would generate revenue.
