Heat pumps in Wrexham

Heat pumps for Wrexham — Wales's newest city and the Dee Valley around it.

From city-centre terraces to farms out towards Llangollen, Thermal Earth designs and installs air- and ground-source heat pumps across Wrexham and North East Wales. One firm, both ends of Wales: 4,000+ systems installed over 20+ years, with our own designers, drillers and installation crews.

One county borough, three briefs

City, countryside and industry — Wrexham has all three.

The same heat pump isn't the starting answer for a Rhostyllen semi, a Dee Valley farmhouse and a factory unit. The setting shapes the design.

01 / City homes

Comfort and siting together.

Room-by-room demand, radiators, hot water — and an outdoor unit placed for sound, looks and easy servicing.

02 / Rural and heritage

Use the land, protect the building.

Off-gas farms and older properties toward Llangollen suit ground collectors — with fabric and heritage handled with care.

03 / Industry and institutions

Designed around the operating profile.

Schools, offices and industrial buildings need heating, cooling, heat recovery and resilience considered together.

Air source

One outdoor unit, thoughtfully placed.

No ground works — just a well-positioned unit and a system designed around it.

Airflow, sound, condensate and the neighbours all get resolved in the first design conversation, together with your radiators, hot water and electrics.

Ground source

Boreholes and trenches, drilled by our own rigs.

Where land and access allow — common in the villages and valley — the ground gives the steadiest source of all.

Available land is only the start: we check services, ground conditions and access, size the collector to the building, and reinstate what we dig. Soughton House shows the approach at country-house scale.

The complete property brief

Six decisions connect the source to your rooms.

Each one feeds the next — equipment gets chosen after the evidence is in, not before. See complete system design.

01

Heat demand

Room-by-room heat loss on a cold day — measured, not assumed.

02

Fabric and radiators

Sensible fabric measures, and emitters tested at heat-pump temperatures.

03

Source and access

Unit siting, or the land and rig access for a ground collector.

04

Hot water and plant

Cylinder capacity, hydraulics and room to maintain everything.

05

Electrics and controls

Supply capacity, zoning and weather compensation, set up properly.

06

Permissions and use

Planning, building regulations and the final operating brief, checked by us.

Beyond the appliance

Bigger buildings, one joined-up design.

Plant capacity, hydraulics, hot water, metering and controls belong in one design — with maintenance access and resilience thought through before commissioning day.

Check the exact address

Planning and heritage, handled early.

Wrexham has listed buildings, conservation areas and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site setting. We check what applies to your property before the design is fixed — it's part of every survey.

Building and setting

Listed-building consent, conservation controls and Article 4 directions can change the route — we establish which, for your address.

Ground and water

Closed-loop, open-loop and surface-water systems follow different Natural Resources Wales permission routes — we know them all.

Costs and continuing care

Bills, funding and what happens afterwards.

Could it lower my bills?

A well-designed system usually can — most of all replacing oil, LPG or electric heating. The free estimate starts the comparison from your own property.

Current funding

You may qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme — we handle the application, and we work to the live rules.

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.

Service and support

Annual servicing and Comfort Care monitoring keep the system honest for as long as you want us looking after it.

Commercial and project teams

Bring the load profile to the first conversation.

Schools, apartments, factories and estates need a project route, not a scaled-up domestic assumption. Request a consultation.

New development

Loads, phasing, source infrastructure, metering and ownership, coordinated.

Developer journey

Existing larger building

Operating hours, demand, distribution and plant-replacement constraints, understood first.

Commercial systems

Shared infrastructure

Source capacity, individual control, common assets and long-term responsibility, defined.

Shared ground loops

Heating and cooling

Simultaneous loads, heat recovery and resilience, assessed at concept stage.

Wrexham questions

Things North Wales homeowners ask us.

Straight answers — the survey fills in the detail for your own house.

Can a heat pump work with my existing radiators?

Often, yes — where each radiator can deliver its room's heat at the lower water temperature. We measure every room; many homes keep most of what they have.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not — Welsh permitted development covers most homes. Listed buildings, conservation areas and the World Heritage Site setting can change that, and we check your exact address first.

Do I need a big garden for ground source?

Not always. Trenches need land, but boreholes suit tighter plots where access and ground conditions work — our own rigs handle both.
