How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What electrical work the job needs
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
About our air source heat pumps in Alverstone
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
For a home around Alverstone that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Alverstone and across the Isle of Wight. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Improving the building’s insulation
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Alverstone
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Alverstone?
It can. Alverstone is within about 2 miles 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.
Will you come out to Alverstone?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. The relief does not cover businesses, and this isn’t tax advice.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes, and we clear up before we go. Work in Alverstone is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Homes in Alverstone and heat pumps
Alverstone lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Alverstone’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Oaklea and Alverstone Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Alverstone’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints' Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Haseley Manor, about 1.8 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
