Air source heat pumps in Forest Side, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Forest Side and across the Isle of Wight, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
If your home in or near Forest Side is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Forest Side
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
What we are most often called about:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Planning and permitted development questions
Historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle, about 1.3 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The pipe route between the units
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

Questions from Forest Side
Do you cover smaller places like Forest Side?
Yes. Forest Side is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Forest Side?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Forest Side is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
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.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights and we look at it during the survey.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Heat pumps in Forest Side: local notes
Central Forest Side is inside a conservation area. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care.
Period properties close to St. Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Leave it or put it right?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
