Storage and electric heater replacement in Gorseinon
Old storage heaters in Gorseinon 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.
For Gorseinon landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Gorseinon is about 5 miles from Swansea and falls within our West Glamorgan coverage. That includes the SA4 postcode district.
Prices in Gorseinon
For Gorseinon, expect roughly £3,145 to £9,595 for 3–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South and Mid Wales rates.

Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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 Gorseinon 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.
Gorseinon 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
A survey in Gorseinon usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Gorseinon at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
