Air-to-air heat pumps in Conwy: what to expect
The question for a Conwy home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Extensions and garden rooms in Conwy that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. A survey in Conwy covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Clwyd.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
Installers in Conwy plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Conwy 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.
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 Conwy
On the shortest day Conwy gets about 7 hours 30 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 13° 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-to-air heat pumps in Conwy: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Conwy?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Clwyd. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Conwy?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Conwy home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Conwy that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Conwy, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
Is there a grant for air-to-air heat pumps?
In England and Wales, yes: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes a grant of £2,500 for air-to-air heat pumps in homes, from 28 April 2026. The MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and deducts it from your quote, subject to the scheme's conditions. The scheme does not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland; in Scotland, Home Energy Scotland has its own rules.
