Air source heat pump installation in Llangollen: what to expect
Every property in Llangollen is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Terraced streets in Llangollen often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully. For older properties in Llangollen, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
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.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Homeowners across Clwyd can arrange a survey in Llangollen 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 Llangollen 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 Llangollen: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Llangollen?
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 Llangollen home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Rhosllannerchrugog as well as Llangollen?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Rhosllannerchrugog, which is about 6 miles north-east of Llangollen, and across Clwyd.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Llangollen 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 Llangollen home.
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.
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.
