Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Risca 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.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Heat pumps in Risca: questions
How long does installation take in Risca?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Risca home states the expected time.

Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Risca home.

Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gwent. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
