Heat pump grants in Chepstow: what to expect
In Chepstow, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Homeowners in Chepstow get a clear written quote showing the full price and any funding that applies. We confirm at the survey which funding route a home in Chepstow is likely to qualify for.
Heat pump funding depends on which UK nation you live in, so we confirm what applies to your home and handle the grant steps alongside your quote.
- Homeowners in England and Wales replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating
- Anyone unsure which scheme applies and wanting it checked before committing
- Homes in England and Wales on oil or LPG, where a higher grant applies between set dates
What's included
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
- Eligibility check for the scheme that covers your nation

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 Chepstow quote.

Heat pump grants in Chepstow: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Chepstow?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gwent. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Chepstow 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 Chepstow home.
Can you service a heat pump in Chepstow that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Chepstow, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How much is the heat pump grant?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when replacing oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers up to £7,500, plus a rural uplift and an optional loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated grant at present.
Do I need an EPC for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
No longer. Since 28 April 2026, a valid EPC is not required for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales. The system must still meet the home's full heating and hot water needs, which the room-by-room heat loss calculation confirms. The other eligibility rules, such as owning the property, still apply.
