About our air source heat pumps in Foreland Fields
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are checking emitters for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
If your home in or near Foreland Fields 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, on top of the £7,500.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Foreland Fields
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The address and the type of property
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Heat pumps in Foreland Fields: local notes
Foreland Fields lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Saint Luke can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Yaverland Manor, roughly 2.6 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Foreland Fields is about 4 miles north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Foreland Fields for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of the Isle of Wight. Count every place we list in the Isle of Wight and you reach 125, with Foreland Fields on the list. Worthing, roughly 31 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Common questions in Foreland Fields
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Foreland Fields?
It can, as Foreland Fields is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is a heat pump in Foreland Fields permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Foreland Fields 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 the local planning authority (for Foreland Fields, normally Isle of Wight council) first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. An early booking makes the visit to Foreland Fields easier to arrange.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How it works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Foreland Fields easier.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
