Heat Pumps for Bungalows

Bungalows are ideal for heat pumps. A single-storey layout means simpler installation, shorter pipe runs, and the option to pair with underfloor heating for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Why choose a heat pump?

Lower bills, lower carbon, longer lifespan than a boiler.

Lower Running Costs

Heat pumps are 300% efficient — for every 1kW of electricity, you get 3kW of heat. Typical savings of £500–£1,300/year vs gas, oil, or LPG.

£7,500 Grant Available

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers £7,500 of your installation cost. We handle the entire application — you just get the confirmation email.

20+ Year Lifespan

Heat pumps last over 20 years — nearly double a gas boiler. Less maintenance, no annual gas safety checks, fewer breakdowns.

Zero Carbon Heating

Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions. Pair with solar panels for virtually free, zero-carbon heating.

Future-Proof

The gas boiler ban on new builds starts 2025. Heat pumps are the future of home heating — get ahead of the curve.

0% VAT

Heat pump installations are VAT-free until 2027. That's a saving of up to £2,000 on a typical installation.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.

Are bungalows good for heat pumps?
Bungalows are one of the best property types for heat pumps. The single-storey layout means shorter, simpler pipe runs from the outdoor unit to your radiators or underfloor heating. There's typically generous outdoor space for the unit, and the compact footprint keeps installation costs down. Many bungalow owners also have the option of adding underfloor heating, which works exceptionally well with heat pumps.
Can I add underfloor heating to my bungalow at the same time?
Yes, and bungalows are particularly well suited for this. Because there's no upper floor to worry about, installing underfloor heating is more straightforward than in a two-storey house. Underfloor heating runs at lower temperatures, which matches perfectly with a heat pump's operating range and maximises efficiency. We can install underfloor heating in specific rooms or throughout the whole bungalow.
My bungalow is on oil heating — how much will I save?
Bungalow owners switching from oil typically save £800–£1,300 per year. Oil is one of the most expensive heating fuels, and many bungalows — particularly in rural Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire — are off the gas grid. A heat pump eliminates the need for oil deliveries, oil tank maintenance, and the environmental risk of a leaking tank.
How long does installation take in a bungalow?
Most bungalow installations take 2–3 days. The single-storey layout means pipework runs are shorter and more accessible than in a two-storey house. If you're adding underfloor heating at the same time, the installation may take 4–5 days depending on the number of rooms.
