Heatforce installs solar panels, batteries and air source heat pumps across South Wales, with reviewers naming Gareth Walters and his team repeatedly for efficient, tidy heat pump and radiator installations, and Sophie praised for coordinating scaffolding and panel-fitting crews. Alongside this, a substantial number of reviews describe serious problems: quotes several thousand pounds above competitors without itemised breakdowns, boiler servicing appointments repeatedly missed or delayed for months, unresolved recurring hot water faults under a paid cover plan, and one account of unnecessary damage and unprofessional conduct during a job. Positive reviewers describe genuinely strong installation teams, but the volume of complaints about admin, pricing and after-care is significant. As a solar and heat pump installer in Cardiff, Heatforce holds a 4.4-star average from 564 Google reviews.

They were all a pleasure to have in and around our home.The admin team were excellent in providing us with prompt pre and post installation information .Highly recommended.
Lies lies and more lies , if I could give a minus rating I would , left me and my family living in poor condition , promised us a voucher to put the house right and over 6 months later NOTHING avoid like the plague!!!!!
Heatforce recently gave me a quote for a solar and battery installation at my home. I won't go into too many boring details but very quickly every conversation began to feel like a sales pitch. One of the red flags when it comes to a solar installation is to make sure you get an itemised breakdown of your installation. I asked for this from Heatforce and it never came. My Heatforce quote for battery and solar came in at close to £21,000 Thankfully a friend of mine had recently had a high end solar installation done by Hassie Electrical Ltd and I got a quote from them. For a far higher specification system than the one quoted by Heatforce the price was approx £16,000 and the invoice was itemised down to the last nut and bolt. Essentially the hardware I wanted was approximately £10,000 and Heatforce had somehow added £11,000 on top. Hassie Electrical did an absolutely superb job and only charged £3500 for the installation. When I told Heatforce they had been undercut by close to £5000 they asked to see the quote and maybe I can speak to my manager to see if there is any wriggle room on the quote. It all started to feel a bit 'double glazing salesman' of old. They then went onto say it's probably a "one man band" doing solar installs so you should be careful which may have worked if I'd not know just how good Hassie Electrical were. In a nutshell, not the best of customer experiences as nobody likes being taken for a mug. So all I'll say is, if you are looking to get a solar and battery installation, I would suggest you really do your research, shop around and if nothing else absolutely insist on an itemised invoice or simply walk away.
Absolutely shocking service. I prepaid for a boiler service on March 3rd. My appointment was cancelled the first time due to the engineer being sick. The second appointment, no one turned up an no communication. The third time, I called the office to check and was told the engineer was very near. Two hours later and another call to the office, with lies saying there was no answer at my address. Which I explained I was in my front garden painting my fence all day! I was promised a call out between 4/6 later that day, to receive a call from the engineer asking to come after 7pm! I declined and was assured he would call the next day between 4/4.30. And still no engineer and no contact. I would stay away from this company!
Appalling service from Heatforce (Wales). My heating broke down in January 26, , 2 1/2 months later they still hadn’t fixed it. Often did not respond to emails, I constantly had to chase them up to get jobs done. They changed two parts on my system and charged huge amounts of money for those parts. They seemed totally disinterested in getting my job sorted. The service engineers varied greatly in competence and knowledge of my system. In the end, I gave up with them after 2 1/2 months with no heating through the winter. As pensioners we struggled but this had no bearing on their service. I would not recommend heat force to anybody. Keep well clear.
Shocking company agreed a date for annual gas safety check takes the day off work they didn't even show up not so much as a phone call not the first time either then they randomly call today and was out working no letter and cut gas off now due to safety terrible service
Awful Company to use! While working in my home I found cigarette butts and packaging hidden under my floorboards — they clearly hoped I wouldn't notice. I also found cigarette papers on my windowsills, confirming they were smoking inside my house throughout the job. They cut two unnecessary holes in my wet room floor instead of using the existing ones, rendering the entire room useless.The main pipe to the boiler was fitted to the hallway wall instead of under the stairs, making the room awful. Remove the copper pipes and copper water, which belonged to me off my property then lying to my father about it being stolen by the neighbours - who I have had no problem with since owning my house. Finally to top it all off when testing the work they carried out, they were smoking while testing gas. If they were a desent company they would know the first thing you do around gas is NOT to have any flameable items. Have tried to reach out muiltple times to them to sort the situration out however it has been 3 months and I'm still yet to hear anything back from them!!
