Air-to-air heat pumps in Caerphilly: what to expect
A heat pump suits most Caerphilly homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Extensions and garden rooms in Caerphilly that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. For terraced homes in Caerphilly, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
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
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
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
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
Installers in Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly 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.
Air-to-air heat pumps prices in Caerphilly
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Mid Glamorgan, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Caerphilly 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.
Short winter days in Caerphilly and what they mean
Caerphilly 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.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Caerphilly: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Caerphilly?
A home survey in Caerphilly 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Caerphilly?
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 Caerphilly home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Caerphilly?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Mid Glamorgan. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
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.
