What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Maesteg
Homes around Maesteg range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
A survey in Maesteg covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Mid Glamorgan. Installers in Maesteg plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
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
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
Flats in Maesteg on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
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 Maesteg 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.
What to budget for air-to-air heat pumps in Maesteg
These are guide prices for Mid Glamorgan, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| 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.
Winter daylight and heating in Maesteg
On the shortest day Maesteg gets about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 15° 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-to-air heat pumps in Maesteg: questions
How long does installation take in Maesteg?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Maesteg home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Maesteg?
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 Maesteg home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Port Talbot as well as Maesteg?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Port Talbot, which is about 5 miles west of Maesteg, and across Mid Glamorgan.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
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.
