What to know about air source heat pump installation in Knighton
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Knighton is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For older properties in Knighton, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Many homes in Knighton 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.

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 Knighton 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 Knighton: questions
Do you cover Newtown as well as Knighton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Newtown, which is about 16 miles north-west of Knighton, and across Powys.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Knighton?
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 Knighton home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Knighton?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Knighton home states the expected time.
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.
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.
