Air source heat pump installation in Swansea
Many homes in and around Swansea are older solid-wall properties, and coastal exposure makes wind-driven rain and damp a real consideration. Older solid-wall and early cavity-wall homes can run a heat pump well, but they usually need more attention to radiator sizes and insulation than a newer build, which is why the design for a Swansea home starts from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, not its floor area.
What the survey checks
We calculate heat loss room by room, check every radiator against the lower flow temperatures a heat pump runs at, and find a place for the outdoor unit and the hot water cylinder. Swansea is covered by the same in-house team that works across the West Midlands, with surveys arranged around our regular South Wales work.
Planning and building rules in Swansea
Many air source heat pumps in Wales are permitted development, but the conditions aren't identical to England's, so we check what applies to your Swansea address, including where the outdoor unit can sit, before quoting.
Often done alongside air source heat pump installation in Swansea
- Loft Insulation in Swansea — a lower heat loss means a smaller unit that costs less to run
- External Wall Insulation in Swansea — the biggest single cut in heat loss for a solid-wall home
- Solar PV in Swansea — daytime generation offsets part of the heat pump's electricity
Beyond Swansea, the same in-house team carries out air source heat pump installation in Neath, Port Talbot, Bridgend and Wrexham. For how we approach the work anywhere, see our Air Source Heat Pump Installers page.
