What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Cwmbran
A heat pump suits most Cwmbran homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
A survey in Cwmbran covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Gwent. Flats in Cwmbran on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
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.
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
Installers in Cwmbran plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
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 Cwmbran 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 Cwmbran

Air-to-air heat pumps 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.
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 in Cwmbran?
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 Cwmbran home gives a room-by-room list.
Can an air-to-air heat pump heat my water?
No. An air-to-air heat pump heats and cools the air in rooms but does not produce hot water. You need a separate source, such as an existing immersion cylinder, a hot water heat pump or an electric water heater. If you want one system for heating and hot water, an air-to-water heat pump with a cylinder is the alternative.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
