Heat Pump Installers in Ceredigion

Thermal Earth provides specialist heat pump installation across Ceredigion, from the coast at Aberystwyth to the rural heartland of the Cambrian Mountains. With over 20 years of experience and 3,500+ installations, we are one of the most experienced heat pump installers serving the region.

Ceredigion is predominantly off the gas grid, making it one of the best areas in Wales for heat pump adoption. Many homes currently rely on oil, LPG, or electric heating — all significantly more expensive to run than a modern heat pump. A well-designed system can reduce your heating bills by 40–70% while providing consistent, comfortable warmth throughout the year.

We install MasterTherm heat pumps and offer both air source and ground source options. Every installation begins with a detailed heat loss survey to ensure the system matches your property perfectly. The £7,500 BUS grant is available to all homeowners replacing fossil fuel heating.

Do heat pumps work in Ceredigion’s rural and exposed locations?

Yes. Modern heat pumps are designed for climates far harsher than Mid Wales. Countries like Norway and Sweden rely heavily on heat pumps. Ceredigion’s relatively mild, maritime-influenced climate actually provides very good conditions for heat pump efficiency. For more exposed or elevated sites, ground source systems are an excellent choice as underground temperatures remain constant year-round.

Can a heat pump heat an old stone farmhouse?

Yes — we have installed heat pumps in hundreds of older Welsh properties including stone farmhouses, cottages, and period homes. The key is accurate system design. We carry out a full heat loss survey and size the system to match your property’s actual heat demand, accounting for wall thickness, insulation levels, and window types.

What grants are available in Ceredigion?

The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available to all Ceredigion homeowners — no income test required. The Welsh Government’s Nest Scheme provides additional support for eligible households. We advise on all available funding during your free consultation and handle the grant application paperwork.

How long does installation take?

Air source installations typically take 2–3 days. Ground source systems take 3–5 days for indoor works plus 1–3 days for borehole drilling. Our own drilling team means we control the full schedule. We always restore garden areas after ground works are complete.

Will a heat pump replace my oil boiler?

Yes, and this is the most common type of installation we carry out in Ceredigion. A heat pump connects to your existing radiators and hot water cylinder, replacing the oil boiler entirely. You also eliminate the cost and hassle of oil deliveries. Most customers see a significant reduction in annual heating costs.
