Before you book: air-to-air heat pumps in Caldicot
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Caldicot is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For terraced homes in Caldicot, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Extensions and garden rooms in Caldicot that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
What's included
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
A survey in Caldicot covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Gwent.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Caldicot 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.
Guide prices for air-to-air heat pumps in Caldicot
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Gwent, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Caldicot can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| System | Installed guide price |
|---|---|
| Air-to-air heat pump, 1–2 rooms | £2,400–£5,000 |
| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £4,000–£8,000 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £2,500 towards an air-to-air system in a home, deducted from your quote where eligible.
Designing for Caldicot's winters
Caldicot sees roughly 7 hours 49 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 39 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
How installation works in Caldicot
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Caldicot home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Air-to-air heat pumps in Caldicot: questions
Do you cover Chepstow as well as Caldicot?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Chepstow, which is about 5 miles north-east of Caldicot, and across Gwent.
How long does installation take in Caldicot?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Caldicot home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Caldicot?
A home survey in Caldicot 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 much sound do the indoor units make?
Indoor units are designed to run quietly, with a fan you will hear most when heating or cooling at full output. Lower fan settings and night modes reduce sound in bedrooms. Siting matters for the outdoor unit too: it needs airflow and a position that passes the MCS noise assessment. Ask to see the sound levels of the proposed units at survey.
Is there a grant for air-to-air heat pumps?
In England and Wales, yes: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes a grant of £2,500 for air-to-air heat pumps in homes, from 28 April 2026. The MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and deducts it from your quote, subject to the scheme's conditions. The scheme does not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland; in Scotland, Home Energy Scotland has its own rules.
