We cover Flint and nearby Connah's Quay, Deeside and the rest of Clwyd. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 Flint 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.

Short winter days in Flint and what they mean
On the shortest day Flint gets about 7 hours 31 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.
Heat pumps in Flint: questions
How long does installation take in Flint?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Flint home states the expected time.
Do you cover Connah's Quay as well as Flint?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Connah's Quay, which is about 3 miles south-east of Flint, and across Clwyd.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Flint?
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 Flint home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Flint home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Flint home.
