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 Tonypandy 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Tonypandy

Heat pumps in Tonypandy: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy home.
What size heat pump does a Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Tonypandy?
A home survey in Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Tonypandy home states the expected time.
