Air source heat pumps in Arreton
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Arreton 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.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Common questions in Arreton
Will you come out to Arreton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Arreton permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Arreton is in a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Isle of Wight council, usually the authority for Arreton.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief doesn’t cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.

What affects the quote in Arreton

- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing 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 will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Arreton
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
If your home is one of the older properties near St. George's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Arreton.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
