Heat pump grants for Conwy homes
Homes around Conwy range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Homeowners in Conwy get a clear written quote showing the full price and any funding that applies. For landlords with property in Conwy, we explain the funding position for each home before quoting.
Heat pump funding depends on which UK nation you live in, so we confirm what applies to your home and handle the grant steps alongside your quote.
- Homeowners in England and Wales replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating
- Anyone unsure which scheme applies and wanting it checked before committing
- Homes in England and Wales on oil or LPG, where a higher grant applies between set dates
What's included
- Eligibility check for the scheme that covers your nation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
Installation dates in Conwy are fixed around any funding confirmation, so work does not start too early.
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.

Heat pump grants in Conwy: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Conwy?
A home survey in Conwy 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 Conwy?
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 Conwy home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
How much is the heat pump grant?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when replacing oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers up to £7,500, plus a rural uplift and an optional loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated grant at present.
Do I need an EPC for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
No longer. Since 28 April 2026, a valid EPC is not required for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales. The system must still meet the home's full heating and hot water needs, which the room-by-room heat loss calculation confirms. The other eligibility rules, such as owning the property, still apply.
