About our air source heat pumps in Bierley
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for deciding on the outdoor unit position and checking whether planning permission is needed, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Bierley that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. 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
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The pipe route between the units
- What electrical work the job needs
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
For air source heat pumps in Bierley, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near Bierley is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What else we do in Bierley
Air source heat pumps around Bierley
Bierley is within about 2 miles of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 35% of homes in and around Bierley before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is listed, like Sheat Manor about 4.1 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Bierley is about 5 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Bierley to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Worthing, roughly 42 miles from Bierley.
Our working area takes in PO38. Nearby, we also cover air source heat pumps in Southford (1 mile north-east), Nettlecombe (1 mile east), Godshill (3 miles north), Wroxall (3 miles north-east) and Sandford (3 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (10 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north) and Sandown (6 miles north-east). Remote and island properties need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bierley
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Bierley questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bierley?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Bierley 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 Isle of Wight council, which is normally the planning authority for Bierley.
Do you cover smaller places like Bierley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
