Storage and electric heater replacement across Powys
For Newtown landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Flats and bungalows in Newtown 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 Powys
Budget around £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms including VAT for storage and electric heater replacement in and around Powys. Labour rates in South and Mid Wales keep this slightly under the national middle. What moves a quote in Powys up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) would typically be £4,545–£7,295 here.

Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.

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.
Powys 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.
