The cost will be quite high, unless you have access to a digger and can excavate and backfill yourself. Also, the deeper the pipework, the better.

I will expense the cost against the business as it will be another office building. Just want to keep the running costs down as my electric bills are already £200 a month for running the equipment.

You could try a mole plow, just tow it behind a tractor and it will lay the pipe below the ground, with little disturbance

Hello. I have seen a second hand, 7kw Fujitsu air con split unit for sale for £175 which appears to be enough to heat my home office . Can I ask if you think it’s worth pursuing this (finding a suitable fitter) please? I want it to keep warm in winter/ cool in summer. I have GCH but try to keep it to a minimum during the day when it’s just me at home. The room is on the side of the house and it could be fitted on the garage flat roof below.
Appreciate this may be a ‘how long is a piece of string’ question .
Thank you

I’ve been thinking of doing the same for my Conservatory!
