Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Fishguard
A heat pump suits most Fishguard homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
In Fishguard, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Homeowners across Dyfed can arrange a survey in Fishguard for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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 and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
For older properties in Fishguard, 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 Fishguard 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 Fishguard: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Fishguard?
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 Fishguard home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Fishguard 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 Fishguard home.
Do you cover Haverfordwest as well as Fishguard?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Haverfordwest, which is about 13 miles south of Fishguard, and across Dyfed.
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.
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.
