Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Adgestone
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If the problem is checking emitters for a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Adgestone, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Your installation or service records
For air source heat pumps in Adgestone, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
What we’re called out for in Adgestone
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Morton Manor lies about 0.7 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Keep radiators clear
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
If anything doesn’t seem right after installation, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Air source heat pumps in Adgestone: the local picture
Adgestone lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. The middle of Adgestone is part of a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Roman Villa (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (usually Isle of Wight council).
Period properties close to Church of St. John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Adgestone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Our engineers cover Adgestone for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of the Isle of Wight. Adgestone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we work. Worthing, roughly 35 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Every address in PO36 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We cover homes and businesses on Upper Road, Lower Road and Lower Adgestone Road and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Morton (1 mile east), Yarbridge (1 mile east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile south-west) and Sandown (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west) and Shanklin (3 miles south). Island and remote properties take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Local landmarks in Adgestone
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to The Bay Church of England School and Sandown Bay Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Sandown station, about 1.1 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (1.3 miles south-east) and Brading Waxworks (1 mile north-east). Open spaces near Adgestone include Alverstone Mead and Brading Down.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Adgestone.

Advice
Questions from Adgestone
Will you come out to Adgestone?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Adgestone?
It can. Adgestone is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. Hotels and businesses pay the standard rate, and this is not tax advice.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
