Ground source boreholes are mostly 10-15 metres deep, so not wildly expensive, especially when part of a new construction. You may be thinking of classic geothermal bores? Drilling down to proper hot-rocks would be a much costlier scheme in most of the UK.

- bombcar 4y agoBig buildings do. They often have to go down that deep for foundation pillars anyway.
- shh_labs 4y agoYou don’t need a borehole at all. Ours uses coils of pipe that are about 1m deep.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoSo, not really suitable for most of the north-west then.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoWonder if you could drill centralised borehole and then use retrofit old gas lines to move compressed refrigerant…
