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 Neath 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.

How long is the heating season in Neath?
Neath has about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 40 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Neath: questions
Do you cover Briton Ferry as well as Neath?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Briton Ferry, which is about 2 miles south of Neath, and across West Glamorgan.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Neath 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 Neath home.
What size heat pump does a Neath 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 Neath home.
How long does installation take in Neath?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Neath home states the expected time.
