Storage and electric heater replacement in Cardigan
South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year. For Cardigan landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements.
Flats and bungalows in Cardigan that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Cardigan is about 22 miles from Carmarthen and falls within our Dyfed coverage. Coverage includes SA43.
Prices in Cardigan
In South and Mid Wales, our guide range for storage and electric heater replacement is £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in South and Mid Wales tend to be. What moves a quote in Cardigan up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. Typical Bungalow or house work (four rooms on one outdoor unit) lands around £4,545–£7,295 in this area.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

Four rooms on one outdoor unit.

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
Since 1 June 2026, Welsh permitted development rules for outdoor units closely match England's: up to 1.5 m³, two units on a detached home, one on other homes, and MCS 020a noise compliance. Listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions on units facing a road.
Cardigan is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. 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.
