Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Knighton 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 Knighton: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Knighton?
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 Knighton home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Knighton?
A home survey in Knighton 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.
What size heat pump does a Knighton 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 Knighton home.
How soon can you survey a home in Knighton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Powys. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
