Air source heat pump installation in Cwmbran: what to expect
Homes around Cwmbran range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
In Cwmbran, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Homeowners across Gwent can arrange a survey in Cwmbran for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
Installers working in Cwmbran plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Cwmbran can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which applies in Wales as well as England: £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies and deducts the grant.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Cwmbran: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Cwmbran?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gwent. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Cwmbran house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Cwmbran home.
What size heat pump does a Cwmbran home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Cwmbran home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
