About our air source heat pumps in Binstead
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Binstead and the rest of the Isle of Wight. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
For a house near Binstead, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Seal draughts where you can
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins.

Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Binstead.

Advice
Homes in Binstead and heat pumps
At about 2 miles from the coast, Binstead is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The middle of Binstead is part of a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Binstead; The Old Rectory (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Holy Cross Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Nunwell House, about 3.3 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Binstead questions
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Binstead?
It can, as Binstead is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. 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.
Will you come out to Binstead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. 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.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
