Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Deeside
Homes around Deeside range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Installers working in Deeside plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. Terraced streets in Deeside often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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.
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
For older properties in Deeside, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Deeside can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which applies in Wales as well as England: £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies and deducts the grant.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Deeside: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Deeside?
A home survey in Deeside usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Can you service a heat pump in Deeside that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Deeside, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Deeside?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Clwyd. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
