Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Clydach 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Clydach
On the shortest day Clydach gets about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 15° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Clydach: questions
Do you cover Pontardawe as well as Clydach?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Pontardawe, which is about 3 miles north-east of Clydach, and across West Glamorgan.
How long does installation take in Clydach?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Clydach home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Clydach 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 Clydach home.
How soon can you survey a home in Clydach?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in West Glamorgan. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
