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

Short winter days in Cardigan and what they mean
On the shortest day Cardigan gets about 7 hours 44 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 Cardigan: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Cardigan that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cardigan, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Cardigan?
A home survey in Cardigan 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 long does installation take in Cardigan?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Cardigan home states the expected time.
Do you cover Fishguard as well as Cardigan?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Fishguard, which is about 15 miles south-west of Cardigan, and across Dyfed.
