Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Hay-on-Wye 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 Hay-on-Wye: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Hay-on-Wye 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 Hay-on-Wye home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Hay-on-Wye?
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 Hay-on-Wye home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Hay-on-Wye that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Hay-on-Wye, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Hay-on-Wye?
A home survey in Hay-on-Wye 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.
