What documents should you keep after installing a ground source heat pump?

What is different about ground source

Ground source heat pumps involve collector pipework or boreholes that interact with land, access rights, and sometimes environmental regulation. Buyers (and their lenders) may ask how installation was authorised and how the system is isolated for maintenance.

Core documents

MCS and installer pack: include MCS certificate, design assumptions, and as-fitted schematics where available.

Building control: keep completion documentation for the energy system and any related electrical work.

Groundworks evidence: retain records from loop or borehole installation, pressure tests, and any warranty on ground collectors.

Rights and access: if pipework crosses boundaries, keep copies of relevant consents or deeds references your conveyancer confirmed.

Presentation to buyers

A well-labelled file reduces anxiety. Use a short cover note with install date, installer name, service history, and links to user manuals.
