Storage and electric heater replacement in Bangor, Gwynedd
Mild North Wales summers mean heat pump heating is usually the headline benefit. Flats and bungalows in Bangor that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Bangor landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Bangor, Gwynedd is one of the main towns we cover in Gwynedd, alongside Caernarfon and Dolgellau. That includes the LL57 postcode district.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.
