About our air source heat pumps in Gatcombe
We install air source heat pumps in Gatcombe and across the Isle of Wight, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We are often asked to deal with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Gatcombe 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What happens if it’s left?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Gatcombe
Is the heat pump grant available in Gatcombe?
Gatcombe is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Gatcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
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.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How do you keep the place clean during the 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.

Radiators and underfloor heating
Any radiator changes are set out in the quote, so the work is clear.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit 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. If a lane or gateway near Gatcombe is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Gatcombe
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Heat pumps in Gatcombe: local notes
Central Gatcombe is inside a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Olave (grade I). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? The 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Gatcombe House, roughly 0.2 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near St. Olave's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
