Storage and electric heater replacement in Newtown
Old storage heaters in Newtown homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
Flats and bungalows in Newtown that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. We cover Newtown and the rest of Powys, including Brecon and Llandrindod Wells. That includes the SY16 postcode district.
Prices in Newtown
Budget around £3,145–£9,595 for 3–5 rooms including VAT for storage and electric heater replacement in and around Newtown. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in South and Mid Wales tend to be. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our South and Mid Wales figures, the Bungalow or house option (four rooms on one outdoor unit) is about £4,545–£7,295.
Small flat
Two or three rooms replacing storage heaters.
Bungalow or house
Four rooms on one outdoor unit.
Larger home
Five or more rooms or two outdoor units.
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.
Newtown 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
We book surveys in Newtown at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
