About our air source heat pumps in Carisbrooke
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
Cottages and older homes near Carisbrooke can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What else we do in Carisbrooke
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Carisbrooke.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Common questions in Carisbrooke
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Carisbrooke?
Carisbrooke is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Carisbrooke?
Yes. Carisbrooke is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Ask about the grant before you commit
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
Air source heat pumps around Carisbrooke
About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The middle of Carisbrooke is part of a conservation area. Historic England lists about 33 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Carisbrooke, including Roman Villa in the Grounds of St Mary's Vicarage (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Isle of Wight council) before the heat pump design is finished.
With Carisbrooke Castle about 0.3 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to St. Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
