Air source heat pumps in Atherfield Green, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, 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. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and planning and permitted development questions, on hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Atherfield Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How we price air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it

FAQs for Atherfield Green
Will a heat pump in Atherfield Green need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Atherfield Green is in a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Isle of Wight council, normally the authority for Atherfield Green.
Will you come out to Atherfield Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Atherfield Green is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Heat pumps in Atherfield Green: local notes
Atherfield Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 35% of homes in Atherfield Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Wolverton Manor, about 2 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Atherfield Green is about 6 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Atherfield Green for air source heat pumps and across the rest of the Isle of Wight. Atherfield Green is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. There’s also a page for Worthing, about 44 miles away.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
