Specialist renewable energy merchantGo Geothermal has signed a distribution deal with building solutions company REHAU.

The County Durham-headquartered firm is now the only UK merchant holding stock of REHAU's market leading RAUVITHERM pre-insulated pipe ready for next day delivery.

RAUVITHERM is an ideal solution for District and Biomass systems, transporting hot water with minimal heat loss. Go Geothermal has invested heavily in a pipe decoiler for the system which means it will be able to supply the pipe to UK customers in pre-cut lengths up to 290m.

Sean Sowden, director at Go Geothermal, said the partnership is part of an ambitious growth plan for the business.

"We are committed to providing only the best quality products and RAUVITHERM pipe is certainly a market leader, with exceptionally low heat losses. This is an exciting an innovative product and we are delighted that REHAU see Go Geothermal as a reliable and forward-thinking partner to do business with.


"Our RAUVITHERM Pre-Insulated Pipe solutions are available in both Single and Twin configurations and in sizes ranging from 25mm up to 125mm. With the decoiler on site we can cut to order and deliver the following morning to most of the UK. There is no minimum order charge and customers will also be reassured by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty."

Go Geothermal was launched in 2006 by co-directors Sean Sowden and Tim Williams, specialising in the sale and distribution of heat pump, biomass and underfloor heating equipment. The business employs 7 people with offices in County Durham and North Nottinghamshire and a nationwide installer customer base.

Sean said: "We have enjoyed a strong performance over the summer with July a record month for sales, no doubt helped by the Government's domestic RHI tariff announcement. This is encouraging more consumers and installers to look to renewable energy as an attractive option for heating and hot water.

"At Go Geothermal we are more than just a merchant – we provide advice and guidance on choosing the right equipment for each bespoke project. No one installation is the same so we offer expertise on choosing the best product; our installer customers really value our support and understand that our knowledge can help to optimise their green energy systems."
