What to know about air source heat pump installation in Conwy
The question for a Conwy 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.
In Conwy, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Many homes in Conwy have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
Terraced streets in Conwy 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 Conwy 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.

How long is the heating season in Conwy?
On the shortest day Conwy gets about 7 hours 30 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 13° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Air source heat pump installation in Conwy: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Conwy 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 Conwy home.
How soon can you survey a home in Conwy?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Clwyd. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Llandudno as well as Conwy?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Llandudno, which is about 3 miles north of Conwy, and across Clwyd.
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.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
