Air source heat pump installation in Llandrindod Wells: what to expect
Homes around Llandrindod Wells range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Installers working in Llandrindod Wells plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. Terraced streets in Llandrindod Wells 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.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
In Llandrindod Wells, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Llandrindod Wells 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 Llandrindod Wells: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Llandrindod Wells?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Powys. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Builth Wells as well as Llandrindod Wells?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Builth Wells, which is about 6 miles south of Llandrindod Wells, and across Powys.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Llandrindod Wells 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 Llandrindod Wells home.
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.
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.
