Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Newport, Gwent
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Newport can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
For Newport landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Newport, Gwent is one of the main towns we cover in Gwent, alongside Cwmbran and Pontypool. We cover NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20 and the streets around them.

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
Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in Newport can now have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the MCS 020a noise condition. Listed buildings still need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions.
