Heat Pump Installers in Hereford

Thermal Earth provides expert heat pump installation across Hereford and Herefordshire. Based in Wales, we serve the English border counties with the same expertise that has made us one of the UK’s leading heat pump installers — over 3,500 systems installed since 2006.

Herefordshire is a predominantly rural county with many properties off the gas grid. For homeowners currently heating with oil or LPG, a heat pump offers dramatically lower running costs and zero on-site carbon emissions. The county’s fertile agricultural land also provides excellent ground conditions for ground source heat pumps.

We install MasterTherm heat pumps, offering both air source and ground source options. Every system is custom-designed following a detailed heat loss survey. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available to all homeowners in England.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a heat pump cost in Hereford?

Air source systems typically cost £8,000 to £18,000, and ground source systems £18,000 to £45,000 before the grant. The £7,500 BUS grant is deducted directly. Herefordshire’s good ground conditions often make ground source a particularly cost-effective long-term choice. Contact us for a free quote.

Is Herefordshire good for ground source heat pumps?

Excellent. Herefordshire’s geology — a mix of old red sandstone and fertile clay soils — provides very good thermal conductivity for boreholes. The county’s predominantly rural character also means most properties have sufficient garden space for ground loop installation. Our drilling team has extensive experience in the region.

Can I replace my oil boiler with a heat pump?

Yes, and this is the most common installation we carry out in Herefordshire. A heat pump replaces the oil boiler and connects to your existing heating system. You eliminate oil deliveries entirely. Most customers see annual savings of 40–70% on heating bills compared to oil.

What grants are available in Herefordshire?

The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available to all homeowners in England replacing fossil fuel heating. This is deducted directly from the installation price. We handle the full application process as part of our service.

Do you install heat pumps in listed buildings?

Yes. Herefordshire has many listed and period properties, and we have installed heat pumps in dozens of them. Ground source systems are often preferred as the equipment is underground. We advise on listed building consent and work with conservation officers where needed.

How long does installation take?

Air source installations take 2–3 days. Ground source systems take 3–5 days indoors plus 1–3 days for borehole drilling. Our own drilling team means we control the full schedule and don’t depend on third-party contractors. We always restore gardens after ground works.
