Air source heat pump installation for Pontypridd homes
Every property in Pontypridd 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.
Homeowners across Mid Glamorgan can arrange a survey in Pontypridd for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Many homes in Pontypridd have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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 who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
Installers working in Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd quote.
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 Pontypridd: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Pontypridd?
A home survey in Pontypridd 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 you cover Llantrisant as well as Pontypridd?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Llantrisant, which is about 4 miles south of Pontypridd, and across Mid Glamorgan.
How soon can you survey a home in Pontypridd?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Mid Glamorgan. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
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.
