Storage and electric heater replacement in Penarth
Old storage heaters in Penarth homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In South and Mid Wales, efficient heating is often as important as cooling.
For Penarth landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our South Glamorgan coverage takes in Penarth, about 3 miles from Cardiff. That includes the CF64 postcode district.

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
In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.
Penarth 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.

We book surveys in Penarth at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Penarth cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
