Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Aberystwyth 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Aberystwyth
On the shortest day Aberystwyth gets about 7 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Aberystwyth: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Aberystwyth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Aberystwyth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Aberystwyth?
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 Aberystwyth home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Machynlleth as well as Aberystwyth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Machynlleth, which is about 16 miles north-east of Aberystwyth, and across Dyfed.
How long does installation take in Aberystwyth?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Aberystwyth home states the expected time.
