How an air source heat pump works
Absorbs outside heat
A fan draws in outdoor air and a refrigerant absorbs its heat, even in cold weather.
Raises the temperature
A compressor concentrates that heat to a useful temperature for your home.
Heats your home
Heat is passed to your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder.
Runs efficiently
For every unit of electricity used, it delivers several units of heat.

Common questions
Will an air source heat pump work in Wynnstay?
Many homes in Wynnstay can be suitable for an air source heat pump, but the installer needs to check insulation, heat loss, radiator sizes, hot water setup and outdoor unit siting before quoting.
What should an MCS installer check in Wynnstay?
A good installer should complete a heat loss calculation, check radiator output, assess hot water storage, review outdoor unit siting and explain any grant eligibility before giving a final quote.
How many installer quotes should I compare?
Comparing more than one quote helps you see whether the proposed system size, radiator upgrades, cylinder work, warranty and grant treatment are consistent. The cheapest quote is not always the best if important upgrade work is missing.
Can installers help with the grant?
Yes. Eligible homeowners in England and Wales can claim up to £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Your MCS certified installer applies through Ofgem and shows any approved discount on your quote or invoice. Heat Pump Wise does not administer the grant.
Do I need planning permission in Wynnstay?

Exceptions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, and homes with an Article 4 direction. Your installer will check this for Wynnstay during the survey.
