Air source heat pumps in Easton
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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are ageing boilers that will need replacing and planning and permitted development questions.
For a home around Easton that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Air source heat pumps around Easton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Easton. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Mottistone Manor, roughly 4.2 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near St. Agnes' Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO40, we can help with air source heat pumps. Count every place we list in the Isle of Wight and you reach 125, with Easton on the list. We also work in Worthing, around 50 miles away.
Our working area takes in PO40. You will find streets such as Bay Road, Camp Road and Gate Lane, each of them within reach. We also cover the places around Easton: Afton (1 mile east), Afton Park (1 mile east), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Totland (1 mile west) and Colwell (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles east). For island and remote properties, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Near you in Easton
Around Easton, our work takes us to homes and businesses near The Red Lion pub. Nearby you’ll also find Yarmouth Castle (2.3 miles north) and Dimbola Museum And Galleries (under half a mile south). Open spaces near Easton include Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
Why act early in Easton
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking before summer means the work in Easton is done before the hot weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep to regular servicing
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself 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. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Easton.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Easton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Easton permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Easton is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Easton, usually Isle of Wight council).
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
