Heat Pump Solutions for Horticulture and Industrial Agriculture.

The possibilities for Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps in the Horticultural, Industrial Agricultural industry is enormous.

Whether you are looking to heat a farmhouse, large scale greenhouse or industrial warehouse, a ground or air source heating system will help keep your running costs low and protect your business from the volatility of fossil fuel prices.

What are the advantages?

Greenstone heat pump systems are covered by the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). The RHI will pay you to change to a ground or air source heating solution and you will continue to receive quarterly payments for up to 20 years – linked to the RPI (retail price index). This means your heating system will provide additional income for years after installation.
Lower fuel bills – The low maintenance and running costs of a heat pump will allow you to generate the same amount of heat using less energy – reducing your running costs
Return on investment within 5 years – Depending on the size and complexity of your installation, the payback period for a heat pump system is around 5 years meaning you will receive RHI payments for up to 15 years after the initial payback period.
Reliability – Heat pumps tend to last much longer than traditional boilers and require much less maintenance. The lifespan of an air source heat pump is 15-20 years whilst a ground source system can last for more than 30 years.
Lower your carbon footprint – Heat pumps produce much less C02 than conventional systems and do not emit CO2 directly.

Heat pump solutions for horticulture and industrial agriculture

We specialise in installing Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps in the horticultural and agricultural industries.

Permanent glass house structures are often ideal to take advantage of the benefits of a ground source heating system. The heat also enables clients the option to grow a wider variety of plants more profitably. In addition to this the ‘dry heat’ that is produced through the ground and through the fan coil heaters can help reduce disease developing on the plants.

The possibilities for ground and air source heat pumps in the agricultural industry is enormous.

There are so many sectors within agriculture where this can benefit the customer, both financially and productively. Below are some recent case studies with examples of how much our customers are saving year on year. Please see the case studies page for more examples.

Case Study: Rushmere Nurseries – Milton Keynes

A brief overview

Rushmere Nurseries is a Wholesale Nursery near Milton Keynes based over 2 sites either side of the road.

On one of the sites there was the space available to explore a Horizontal loop Ground Source Heating system, the owner of Rushmere Nurseries asked Greenstone to provide a quotation for a 350kW Ground Source Heating system.

After a thorough feasibility study and design, the project was costed and proposed to the customer who was very happy to proceed.

The customer is expected to see a payback on investment within 5 years.

Our products

Each system we install is bespoke and is designed to suit your home or business needs.

Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps extract energy from the air even as low as -15°C. Extracting this low grade heat at this temperature is still enough for the heat pump to multiple or amplify this heat to 65°C. Therefore, satisfying your heating and hot water demands.

Ground Source Heat Pumps

Ground source heat pumps efficiently extract energy from the ground at around 10°C and using compression are able generate temperatures of around 65°C – Satisfying your heating and hot water demands.

Solar Panels

Solar panels help your business save money by generating free green electricity. save thousands of pounds every year on your energy bill by using this energy during the day or from Feed In Tariff (FiT) Payments.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is one of the most economical ways to meet your heating needs. The underfloor heating pipes are insulated underneath so no heat is wasted downwards. Radiators typically work up to 70°C whilst underfloor heating is set to between 35°C and 45°C – As a result the running costs are lower.
