What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Conwy
In Conwy, 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.
We plan radiator upgrades in Conwy so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. Many older houses in Conwy still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
We size each radiator to your room-by-room heat loss so a heat pump can heat your home at a low, efficient flow temperature.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
What's included
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
Radiator fitting in Conwy is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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 Conwy 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.

Designing for Conwy's winters
Conwy has about 7 hours 30 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 59 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.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Conwy: questions
What size heat pump does a Conwy 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 Conwy home.
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 radiators be changed without draining the whole system?
Radiator changes normally mean draining the heating system, which is why they are usually done as part of the heat pump installation. The system is then refilled, flushed, treated with inhibitor and balanced. Doing the radiators at the same time avoids draining twice and means the new radiators are commissioned with the heat pump.
How much does a heat pump radiator cost?
A replacement radiator sized for a heat pump has a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT. Upgrading about ten radiators in a typical home has a guide price of £2,000–£5,000. The final price is fixed in your written quote after the survey, once the radiator schedule shows exactly which radiators change.
