If you’re thinking of installing a renewable heating system for your home, you can’t go wrong by investing in a Worcester Bosch ground source heat pump.
Worcester Bosch Ground Source Heat Pump Range
Worcester Bosch ground source heat pumps are available in combi and system versions. The combi ground source heat pump includes a built-in hot water cylinder, and the system ground source heat pump is designed for use with a separate cylinder.
No matter which version you require, your Worcester Bosch ground source heat pump works by extracting renewable energy from the ground and using it to provide low carbon heating and hot water for your home.

Worcester Bosch Greenstore LECP Combi Ground Source Heat Pump
The Greenstore LECP Combi has a built-in 185-litre cylinder, meaning it doesn’t require a separate cylinder for storing your hot water. It’s a complete heating and hot water solution and comes in outputs of 5.1kW, 6.2kW, 8.7kW and 10.2kW. If you have a large property and require a higher output, two units of the same output can be cascaded to meet your household’s needs.
Worcester Bosch says this ground source heat pump is up to 400% efficient and straightforward to install, plus it features an illuminated text display menu. The Greenstore LECP Combi also has weather compensation, which helps to keep your home at a nice comfortable temperature by automatically adjusting the heat output according to the outside temperature.

Why Choose a Worcester Bosch Ground Source Heat Pump?
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
All Worcester Bosch ground source heat pumps extract stored energy from the ground and use an electrically powered compressor, meaning they don’t require the use of additional fossil fuels to work. By installing a renewable heating system, such as the Greenstore LECP Combi or System ground source heat pump, you can lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce your carbon footprint and lessen your impact on the environment.
Save on Your Energy Bills
Whilst the upfront cost of installing a ground source heat pump might seem high, it’s worth it in the long run because this type of renewable heating system helps to reduce your energy bills. Ground source heat pumps from Worcester Bosch are up to 400% efficient and can deliver 4 times the amount of energy they use. And although they use electricity to work, they use it in a highly efficient way to help shrink not only your bills but also your CO2 emissions.
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)
You could receive payments through the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) when you get a Worcester Bosch ground source heat pump installed. The RHI is part of the UK government’s bid to meet its renewable energy targets and is designed to encourage the uptake of renewable heat technologies amongst homeowners. After joining the scheme, you receive quarterly payments for every kW of heat your heat pump produces, but you must use an MCS certified installer to qualify for the scheme.
Works Well in Tandem with Solar Panels
Worcester Bosch ground source heat pumps can be combined with solar panels to reduce heat pump running costs. If you use solar power to generate free electricity for your home, you can save even more energy and money.
