Air source heat pump installation for Welshpool homes
In Welshpool, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Homeowners across Powys can arrange a survey in Welshpool for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Many homes in Welshpool 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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
In Welshpool, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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 Welshpool quote.
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.

How long is the heating season in Welshpool?
On the shortest day Welshpool gets about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Air source heat pump installation in Welshpool: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Welshpool?
A home survey in Welshpool 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Welshpool?
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 Welshpool home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Welshpool that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Welshpool, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
