About our air source heat pumps in Afton
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Afton that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Afton.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air source heat pumps around Afton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Afton is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Central Afton is inside a conservation area. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Afton, including Afton Manor (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (normally Isle of Wight council). About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Mottistone Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Afton
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
What we are called out for in Afton
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Period properties close to St. Agnes' Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Afton
Do you cover smaller places like Afton?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Afton?
It can. Afton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
