About Our Services

Local heat pump specialists for Pontardawe homes

Renewable Heating Wales installs air source heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and underfloor heating across Pontardawe and the Swansea Valley. We have already replaced gas boilers with air source heat pumps in Pontardawe itself, including a Stiebel Eltron system, so we know the valley's mix of stone terraces, post-war semis and hillside homes, and what each needs to run a heat pump efficiently.

We are MCS-accredited and an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, based just over the mountain in Tycroes. That means local survey, installation and aftercare from the same team, and we handle the Boiler Upgrade Scheme application for you from start to finish.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump for most homes on mains gas. If your home is off the gas grid and heated by oil or LPG, as many hillside properties above the valley are, the grant rises to £9,000 until 31 March 2027. Lower-income households may also qualify for ECO4 or the Welsh Government's Warm Homes Nest scheme. We check your eligibility for free.

Common Questions

Heat pump FAQs for Pontardawe homeowners

Can I get a grant for a heat pump in Pontardawe?
Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump when you replace a fossil fuel heating system, with no income test. If your home has no mains gas connection and is heated by oil or LPG, the grant is £9,000 until 31 March 2027. You need to own the property and have a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations. As an MCS-accredited installer, we apply for the voucher on your behalf.
Will a heat pump work in an older Swansea Valley terrace?
Yes, when it is designed for the house. Older stone and solid-walled terraces lose more heat than modern homes, so the system has to be sized from a proper room-by-room heat loss calculation rather than floor area. Some radiators may need upsizing so the heat pump can run at lower, more efficient temperatures. Terraces also have less outdoor space, so we plan the position of the outdoor unit carefully and check it against planning rules before installing.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Pontardawe?
Usually not. Welsh permitted development rights were widened on 1 June 2026, removing the old three-metre boundary rule. A detached house can now have up to two air source heat pumps and other homes one, as long as the outdoor unit is no larger than 1.5 cubic metres. Extra restrictions apply to listed buildings and conservation areas, such as not siting a unit on a wall or roof facing a highway. We check this for your property and deal with Neath Port Talbot Council if an application is needed.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most homes take between two and four days on site, depending on whether radiators need changing and whether a new hot water cylinder is going in. Before that, we survey the property, design the system and apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme voucher, which usually takes a few weeks. We will give you a realistic timeline at the survey so you know exactly when your heating will be off.
How much could a heat pump save compared to gas?
At the October 2026 price cap, a well-designed heat pump running at a seasonal efficiency of 3.5 costs about 7.5p per kWh of heat, compared with about 8.9p from a gas boiler at 90% efficiency. Removing gas altogether also saves the gas standing charge, around £108 a year. The real figure depends on your home and how well the system is designed, so we model your running costs during the survey rather than quoting a headline number.
Do you service heat pumps in Pontardawe?
Yes. We recommend an annual service for every heat pump, which keeps it running efficiently and is usually needed to keep the manufacturer warranty valid. If your system was installed by another company, send us the make and model and we will tell you whether we can look after it.
