Heat pumps in Swansea

Heat pumps in Swansea, from Mumbles sea fronts to Sketty semis.

Thermal Earth is based in West Wales, an hour up the road — which makes Swansea one of our core patches. Air source and ground source systems, designed around your home and installed by our own teams since 2006.

From coastal properties on the Gower to off-grid villages across Neath Port Talbot, we've been replacing oil, LPG and ageing gas boilers here for 20+ years.

No EPC? Send an enquiry or call 01269 833100. We can check the evidence needed for your property.

Your nearest specialists

20+ years of heat pumps, from our base near Ammanford.

Thermal Earth has installed 4,000+ systems across Wales and the UK since 2006 — from single terraces to whole housing schemes.

And because we're close, surveys, servicing and Comfort Care support are genuinely local, not a call centre away.

Where to start

Start with your home — or bring us a bigger brief.

Homeowners

Your free first estimate

Tell us about your home and current heating and you'll get a realistic figure in minutes. Then a survey works out the right system — heat loss, hot water, radiators and where the unit goes.

Self-build

Building near Swansea?

Bring us in early. Fabric, underfloor heating, hot water and electrics all work best when they're designed together with the house — not bolted on at second fix.

Development and commercial

Housing and commercial teams

From individual systems to shared ground arrays, we help Swansea housing and commercial teams settle source feasibility, metering, controls and delivery — then drill and install it ourselves.

Swansea's direction of travel

The city is planning around heat pumps.

Swansea's energy plan and its council-housing programme both point the same way — and we've been installing the technology here for years.

Local Area Energy Plan

Heat pumps sit at the heart of Swansea's 2050 plan.

The council's 2024 Local Area Energy Plan models air-source heat pumps as a major part of the city's future energy mix and maps heat-pump focus zones across Swansea.

Council-housing precedent

Whole homes, not just boilers swapped.

Swansea Council's energy-efficient housing work pairs heat pumps with insulation, ventilation, solar and storage — the same whole-house thinking behind every system we design.

Air source

The everyday fit for Swansea streets.

No ground works, a compact outdoor unit, full central heating and hot water — the natural choice for terraces, semis and tighter plots.

We design the whole system around your home: room-by-room heat loss, radiator sizes, hot water, sound and where the unit sits. That's what makes the difference to comfort and running costs.

Ground source

For gardens, smallholdings and the Gower.

If you have land — a big garden, a paddock, a field — trenches or boreholes give you the steadiest heat source of all.

Our own rigs and crews handle the drilling. We check geology, access and permissions for your specific site, then size the ground array and the heating system as one.

Nearby proof

An older Welsh farmhouse, kept warm without oil.

At Ffos y Broga, an 18kW air-source heat pump and solar PV replaced oil heating in a pre-1850 home — and the original radiators stayed.

It's the kind of building plenty of Swansea and Gower homes resemble: older, characterful and well suited to a properly designed heat pump.

Local supply chain

Named in Swansea's low-carbon housing supply chain.

Thermal Earth appears in the region's HAPS programme reporting on supply-chain activity for low-carbon homes — local houses, heated by a local firm.

Funding and permissions

Grant help, sorted with you.

You may qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme — and we handle the application.

Eligible air-to-water or ground-source heat pump installations receive £7,500. If your property has no mains gas connection and you are replacing oil or LPG heating, the grant is £9,000 for applications properly made from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. We check eligibility for your home.

Welsh Government's Green Homes Wales scheme can also help with advice and finance. We'll walk you through what applies to your home at the survey.

Air source, trenches or boreholes?

We compare the options against your building, garden, access and heat demand at the survey — then recommend one, with reasons.

Will my radiators cope?

We measure room-by-room heat loss and radiator output. Many homes keep every radiator; some swap one or two for comfort.

What permissions apply?

Most installs are permitted development. Listed homes and conservation areas — Mumbles has its share — can need consent, and we check for you.

What will it cost to run?

That depends on your home, your tariff and the fuel you're leaving behind. Off oil or LPG the savings are usually strongest — we'll show you the numbers for your own house, not an average.

Where we work

Across Swansea, the Gower and Neath Port Talbot.

Mumbles, the Gower, Sketty, Uplands, Killay, Dunvant, Bishopston, Llansamlet, Clydach and Pontardawe — plus Neath, Briton Ferry, Port Talbot and the rural villages in between.

Coastal cottage or hillside farmhouse, if you're anywhere in the wider Swansea area you're covered. See everywhere we work.
