What to know about air source heat pump installation in Connah's Quay
A heat pump suits most Connah's Quay homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Installers working in Connah's Quay plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. In Connah's Quay, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
Homeowners across Clwyd can arrange a survey in Connah's Quay for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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 Connah's Quay quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.

Air source heat pump installation in Connah's Quay: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Connah's Quay house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Connah's Quay home.
Can you service a heat pump in Connah's Quay that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Connah's Quay, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Connah's Quay?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Connah's Quay home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
