Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Llandudno homes
The question for a Llandudno 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.
Cottages and farmhouses in and around Llandudno often have solid walls, so the survey looks closely at construction and draughts. Bungalows and detached houses near Llandudno running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier.
Off-gas homes have a lot to plan when switching to a heat pump: the fuel tank, older walls, rural power supplies and higher heat loss.
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
What's included
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
Rural properties near Llandudno usually have garden space for the outdoor unit, sited away from windows and sheltered where possible.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Llandudno 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.
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.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Llandudno: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Llandudno house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Llandudno home.
How soon can you survey a home in Llandudno?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Clwyd. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Conwy as well as Llandudno?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Conwy, which is about 3 miles south of Llandudno, and across Clwyd.
Will I need bigger radiators in an older cottage or farmhouse?
Often in some rooms, because thick solid walls and older windows lose more heat, and heat pumps work at lower water temperatures than oil boilers. The survey checks each room. Rooms with high ceilings or large windows are common candidates for a larger radiator. Where swapping radiators is impractical, a high-temperature unit can be considered, with lower efficiency as the trade-off.
Do I have to remove my oil tank?
Not always, but it should be emptied and made safe. A tank in good condition can be drained, cleaned and left in place, though most owners prefer to have it taken away to free up space. Old or damaged tanks are usually removed. Your quote says which option is included, and any remaining oil and sludge is disposed of properly.
