About our air source heat pumps in Fairlee
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Older and listed homes in villages like Fairlee need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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.

What we are called out for in Fairlee
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Older homes near St Paul's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Fairlee: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fairlee?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Fairlee, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Fairlee?
It depends on the property. Central Fairlee sits inside 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Isle of Wight council, usually the authority for Fairlee.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
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 recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
What air conditioning will not do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Underfloor heating
- Hot water cylinders
- Radiator systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
What happens on the day
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 several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Fairlee.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about parking and loading
