What to know about air source heat pump installation in Monmouth
In Monmouth, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
For older properties in Monmouth, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Terraced streets in Monmouth often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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.
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them

- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
In Monmouth, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
In Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027; £2,500 for air-to-air). The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies to Ofgem for you, and the grant comes off your Monmouth quote.
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.

Winter daylight and heating in Monmouth
Monmouth has about 7 hours 46 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 42 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Air source heat pump installation in Monmouth: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Monmouth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Monmouth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Monmouth?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Monmouth home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Monmouth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gwent. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
