Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Swansea 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.
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 Swansea?
Swansea 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 Swansea: questions
How long does installation take in Swansea?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Swansea home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Swansea?
A home survey in Swansea 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.
Do you cover Mumbles as well as Swansea?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Mumbles, which is about 4 miles south-west of Swansea, and across West Glamorgan.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Swansea?
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 Swansea home gives a room-by-room list.
