The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Chale Green can be planned properly.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Chale Green
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are moving away from fossil-fuel heating and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
If your home in or near Chale 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Chale Green
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Chale Green?
It can. Chale Green is within about 2 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.
Is a heat pump in Chale Green permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Chale Green is in a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Isle of Wight council, which is normally the planning authority for Chale Green first.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify, among other rules.
Do you cover Chale Green?
Yes. Chale Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

Air source heat pumps in Chale Green: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Chale Green. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. VOA council tax data put about 35% of homes in the Chale Green area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to St. James' Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Wolverton Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Chale Green is about 6 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Chale Green for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of the Isle of Wight. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight. There’s also a page for Worthing, about 43 miles away.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What state the existing equipment is in
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Chale Green and across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
