What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Newport (Gwent)
Every property in Newport (Gwent) is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Top-floor rooms in Newport (Gwent) that overheat in summer gain from the cooling an air-to-air system provides. Flats in Newport (Gwent) 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.
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
A survey in Newport (Gwent) covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Gwent.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Newport (Gwent) 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.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Newport (Gwent): questions
How soon can you survey a home in Newport (Gwent)?
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 Newport (Gwent) 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 Newport (Gwent) home.
Do you cover Risca as well as Newport (Gwent)?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Risca, which is about 5 miles west of Newport (Gwent), and across Gwent.
Are air-to-air heat pumps suitable for flats?
Often, yes. They need no radiators, pipework or cylinder, so they suit flats heated by storage or panel heaters. You need a position for the outdoor unit, such as a balcony, wall bracket or ground-floor yard, and leaseholders normally need the freeholder's or management company's consent. Planning rules for flats differ by nation, so we check what applies at survey.
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.
