Air-to-air heat pumps across West Glamorgan
We size every heat pump in Swansea for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Ask at your Swansea survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Humid summer spells in South Wales make dehumidifying and cooling equally welcome.
Prices in West Glamorgan
Air-to-air heat pumps in West Glamorgan typically come in at £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on South and Mid Wales rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical South and Mid Wales labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Small home work (three or four rooms heated and cooled) lands around £4,095–£6,845 in this area.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.
Small home
Three or four rooms heated and cooled.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in West Glamorgan can now have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the MCS 020a noise condition. Listed buildings still need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions.
If your home in West Glamorgan is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.

The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. We book surveys in West Glamorgan at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
