Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Bangor (Gwynedd)
The question for a Bangor (Gwynedd) home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Many homes in Bangor (Gwynedd) have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. For older properties in Bangor (Gwynedd), the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
Terraced streets in Bangor (Gwynedd) often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
In Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027; £2,500 for air-to-air). The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies to Ofgem for you, and the grant comes off your Bangor (Gwynedd) quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Bangor (Gwynedd): questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bangor (Gwynedd) that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bangor (Gwynedd), whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
What size heat pump does a Bangor (Gwynedd) home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Bangor (Gwynedd) home.
Do you cover Beaumaris as well as Bangor (Gwynedd)?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Beaumaris, which is about 3 miles north-east of Bangor (Gwynedd), and across Gwynedd.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
