Air source heat pump installation for Clydach homes
Every property in Clydach 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.
For older properties in Clydach, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. In Clydach, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
Terraced streets in Clydach often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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 Clydach 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Clydach
Clydach has about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 40 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Air source heat pump installation in Clydach: questions
How long does installation take in Clydach?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Clydach home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Clydach that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Clydach, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Clydach?
A home survey in Clydach 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.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
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.
