How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ashey
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
If your home in or near Ashey is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Ashey easier.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

What a heat pump looks like in Ashey
At about 3 miles from the coast, Ashey is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Nunwell House about 1.5 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO33 area, we can help with air source heat pumps. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. Worthing, roughly 35 miles off, has its own page on this site.
If your postcode is in PO33, we can take the job on. Close by, we work in Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south) and Shanklin (5 miles south). For island and remote properties, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Ashey questions
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Ashey?
It can. Ashey is within about 3 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.
Can I fit a heat pump in Ashey without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Ashey sits inside a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Isle of Wight council, which is usually the planning authority for Ashey.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. 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.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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 will work out which band applies to yours.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What we’re called out for in Ashey
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Before booking anyone
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- What records you get at the end
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
