Air source heat pumps in Apse Heath
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If you’re dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
Homes around Apse Heath typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Common problems we fix in Apse Heath
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Radiator systems
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Hot water cylinders
- Underfloor heating
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Apse Heath, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

What a heat pump looks like in Apse Heath
The coast is only about 2 miles from Apse Heath. 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. The centre of Apse Heath lies within a conservation area. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Isle of Wight council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
If your home is listed, like Haseley Manor about 1.8 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The size of the job
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Questions from Apse Heath
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Apse Heath?
It can. Apse Heath 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Apse Heath?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Apse Heath, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you cover Apse Heath?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Apse Heath.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
