Ground Source Heat Pumps: Powering Progress in the Energy Transition With rising energy costs and increasing demand for sustainable solutions, ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology is proving to be more relevant than ever in 2025. As global efforts to decarbonise intensify, GSHPs are at the heart of a cleaner, more efficient energy system. Why GSHPs Are More Important Than Ever 1️⃣ Energy Security: GSHPs reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets, offering stable and predictable energy costs. 2️⃣ Efficiency at Scale: Whether it’s a residential property or a district heating network, GSHPs deliver incredible energy efficiency, with seasonal performance factors of up to 5. 3️⃣ Meeting Future Standards: With regulations like the Future Homes Standard and initiatives like the Clean Heat Market Mechanism, GSHPs are the go-to solution for developers, homeowners, and businesses to future-proof their projects. As drillers and installers, we deliver precise, reliable installations, we ensure that every system performs to its full potential, helping clients meet sustainability targets while enjoying the benefits of cutting-edge technology. 2025 is the year to embrace progress. If you’re ready to explore how GSHPs can revolutionise your heating and cooling systems, we’re here to get you started. Together, we can make sustainable energy the norm.

The scope and impact of ground-source heat pumps are huge, from tower blocks to heritage properties, new builds to retrofits. In our latest blog we run through real-world examples of the potential of this incredible renewable energy technology and detail just how it is transforming how we think about heating and cooling in the built environment.

🌍 2025: Halfway to 2030—The Clock is Ticking on Carbon Reduction Targets As we step into 2025, we find ourselves halfway through the critical decade to achieve the 2030 carbon reduction targets. The urgency to decarbonise heating and cooling systems has never been greater, and ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are at the forefront of this effort. Why 2030 Matters The next five years will define whether we can meet our climate commitments. Decarbonising heating—responsible for around 20% of the UK’s emissions—is one of the biggest challenges. GSHPs offer a proven, efficient, and scalable solution to tackle this. How GSHPs Are Leading the Way - Highly Efficient: GSHPs deliver up to five times the efficiency of traditional heating systems, reducing energy waste and emissions. - Built to Last: With a lifespan of many decades, GSHPs offer a long-term, sustainable solution for homes, businesses, and communities. - Scalable Technology: From individual homes to district heat networks, GSHPs are versatile enough to meet diverse needs. What This Means for Us As GSHP drillers and installers, we’re not just part of an industry—we’re part of the solution. Every borehole drilled and every system installed brings us one step closer to a low-carbon future. The second half of this decade is our chance to make the biggest impact. Let’s keep drilling, installing, and innovating to ensure GSHPs remain a cornerstone of the UK’s decarbonisation strategy.

A happy and prosperous new year to all our clients, partners and team! 2025 is set to be another successful year for the ground source heat pump industry, and we are ready. 2024 was a big step-change for our team in the GSHP sub-contracting drilling industry. We drove forward the scale of projects, invested in new machinery and accreditations, and grew our team. The headline figure from last year was '50 miles of piping for GSHP systems installed during 2024'. However, achieving that required a well-oiled machine, a team that knew what they were doing and worked extremely hard to meet client deadlines. Here are a few of our year’s highlights: - We underwent three significant industry audits for Citation Professional Solutions, MCS and Ground Source Heat Pump Association Drillers’ Audit - and passed them all! - We completed our first install of the new Shoebox NX from Kensa - Our new newsletter, Onsen - On the Ground, was successfully launched and has a growing number of monthly subscribers. - We drilled over 32 boreholes on a large-scale GSHP project for a Secondary School & Sixth Form College in the UK - Attended and participated in the Ground Source in Focus industry event hosted by the Ground Source Heat Pump Association (Genius Energy Lab (Ground Source Heat Pump System and Heat Network Designers) - it was great to see you there). - Purchased a new state-of-the-art mud processing unit, a key addition to our fleet of equipment. Thank you to all of our partners and clients who contributed to such a successful year. We’re excited about 2025, and we have a lot planned. As the momentum builds in the UK for GSHPs, and if you’re considering this future-forward technology as the heating and cooling source for your next project, get in touch with us: gareth@onsenenergy.com #GroundSourceHeatPump #BoreholeDrilling #DrillingRigs #HappyNewYear

We’ve been a little quiet on LinkedIn with project updates. For the past 3 months our team has been dedicated to a large commercial project in Central London. Gareth Berry— “I can’t thank the team's dedication enough for their hard work and consistent quality of work in delivering 13,000 metres of boreholes to support a large ground source heat pump installation. Once completed, we’d have drilled 76 boreholes to a depth of 240m. Here’s an image of the team drilling under floodlights and into the dark to keep the project on track (the rig stops early in the evening to minimise disruption to local residents). We’ll have more project updates soon. I’m a proud leader of this brilliant team, and of all it’s achieved in the last quarter of 2024.” #GSHP #GroudSourceHeatPumps #RenewableEnergyProject #BoreholeDrilling

Who is Onsen Energy? Onsen Energy was founded when the team - with a background in construction - saw the demand for ground source heating growing. We invested in a drilling rig and partnered with Kensa Group’s installer development team for support, training and MCS accreditation. “Our team at Onsen Energy has over a decade of experience in borehole solutions and heat pump installations. We’re passionate about renewable energy and proud to support leading UK consultants in the sector. One myth is that heat pumps can’t heat homes properly—this isn’t true! With the right design and installation, any home can benefit from ground source heating. There’s huge potential for ground source heat pumps in large projects with shared ground arrays. It could bring down costs and drive adoption across the UK." - Gareth Berry, MD of Onsen Energy For highly-qualified, professional and experienced borehole drilling services to bring this renewable energy source into your next project, reach out to Gareth and the team: gareth@onsenergy.com #RenewableEnergy #Boreholes #Sustainability #GroundSourceHeatPumps #BoreholeDrillers
