Storage and electric heater replacement across Mid Glamorgan
For Bridgend landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Flats and bungalows in Bridgend that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Wet South Wales winters make a heat pump's quiet, even heating and dehumidifying mode useful well beyond summer.
Prices in Mid Glamorgan
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. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical South and Mid Wales labour rates. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure.

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 Mid 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.
Mid Glamorgan 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.
