Air source heat pump installation in Bargoed: what to expect
Every property in Bargoed is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
In Bargoed, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Homeowners across Mid Glamorgan can arrange a survey in Bargoed for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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.
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
Installers working in Bargoed 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
Homes in Bargoed 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.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.

Air source heat pump installation in Bargoed: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bargoed that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bargoed, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Bargoed?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bargoed home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bargoed?
A home survey in Bargoed usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
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.
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.
