Before you book: replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Llandrindod Wells
A heat pump suits most Llandrindod Wells homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
If your home near Llandrindod Wells is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries. Owners across Powys can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Llandrindod Wells.
Off-gas homes have a lot to plan when switching to a heat pump: the fuel tank, older walls, rural power supplies and higher heat loss.
- Eligible homes in England and Wales within the higher grant window
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
What's included
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- MCS certificate and grant application in England and Wales where eligible
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
Rural properties near Llandrindod Wells usually have garden space for the outdoor unit, sited away from windows and sheltered where possible.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Llandrindod Wells 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.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Llandrindod Wells: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Llandrindod Wells that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Llandrindod Wells, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.

How much is the grant for replacing an oil boiler with a heat pump?
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is £9,000 when an air-to-water heat pump replaces oil or LPG heating, for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Otherwise the standard £7,500 applies. The installer claims it and deducts it from your quote. Scotland's Home Energy Scotland funding works differently and includes extra for eligible rural homes; Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner scheme at present.
Do I have to remove my oil tank?
Not always, but it should be emptied and made safe. A tank in good condition can be drained, cleaned and left in place, though most owners prefer to have it taken away to free up space. Old or damaged tanks are usually removed. Your quote says which option is included, and any remaining oil and sludge is disposed of properly.
