Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Newtown
Homes around Newtown range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For older properties in Newtown, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Terraced streets in Newtown 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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
In Newtown, 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 Newtown quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.

Short winter days in Newtown and what they mean
On the shortest day Newtown gets about 7 hours 39 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Air source heat pump installation in Newtown: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Newtown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Newtown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Newtown?
A home survey in Newtown usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
How long does installation take in Newtown?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Newtown home states the expected time.
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.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
