Air source heat pump installation for Ebbw Vale homes
Homes around Ebbw Vale range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Many homes in Ebbw Vale have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. Terraced streets in Ebbw Vale often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
Installers working in Ebbw Vale plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
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 Ebbw Vale 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.

Air source heat pump installation in Ebbw Vale: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ebbw Vale?
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 Ebbw Vale home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Tredegar as well as Ebbw Vale?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Tredegar, which is about 2 miles west of Ebbw Vale, and across Gwent.
How long does installation take in Ebbw Vale?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Ebbw Vale home states the expected time.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
