Yep I'm looking into them.  Have plenty of space for a horizontal
loop.

Another useful site is http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

The capital cost is too high for the potential savings at present,
especially as I think we would have to stick with less efficient
DHW rather than convert to space heating.

Waiting for the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) to be finalised.
I'm not prepared to install a system speculativly based on a
salesmans idea of what the final numbers will be.
