Air source heat pump installation in Ystradgynlais: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Ystradgynlais is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Homeowners across Powys can arrange a survey in Ystradgynlais for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. In Ystradgynlais, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
Many homes in Ystradgynlais have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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 Ystradgynlais 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 Ystradgynlais: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Ystradgynlais?
A home survey in Ystradgynlais 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Ystradgynlais?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Powys. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Ystradgynlais that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ystradgynlais, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
