Air-to-air heat pumps in Cwmbran
We size every heat pump in Cwmbran for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
Ask at your Cwmbran survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Cwmbran sits around 5 miles from Newport, Gwent, inside our Gwent area. Coverage includes NP44.
Prices in Cwmbran

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.
Cwmbran is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
A survey in Cwmbran usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. Surveys in Cwmbran cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
