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.
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.

Winter daylight and heating in Pontypridd

Heat pumps in Pontypridd: questions
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.
What size heat pump does a Pontypridd home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Pontypridd home.
How long does installation take in Pontypridd?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Pontypridd home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Pontypridd house?
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 Pontypridd home.
