Air-to-air heat pumps in Crickhowell: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Crickhowell is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Installers in Crickhowell plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat. A survey in Crickhowell covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Powys.
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
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
What's included
- 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
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
Flats in Crickhowell 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
Homes in Crickhowell 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.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.
Air-to-air heat pumps costs around Crickhowell
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Powys, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Crickhowell 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.
How long is the heating season in Crickhowell?

Air-to-air heat pumps in Crickhowell: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Crickhowell?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Powys. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Abergavenny as well as Crickhowell?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Abergavenny, which is about 6 miles south-east of Crickhowell, and across Powys.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Crickhowell?
A home survey in Crickhowell 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.
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.
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.
