About our air source heat pumps in Gunville
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We are often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Gunville typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why act early in Gunville
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. For a village like Gunville, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Heat pumps in Gunville: local notes
The 2021 Census found about 35% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. Central Gunville is inside a conservation area. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (normally Isle of Wight council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Carisbrooke Castle lies about 0.8 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Gunville is about 1 mile west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether you are in the middle of Gunville or further out, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. The nearest of our city pages is Worthing, around 41 miles from Gunville.
If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Ash Lane, Purdy Road and Gunville Road or anywhere close by, our engineers can take on the work. We cover every part of PO30. Places around Gunville that are also on our list: Carisbrooke (1 mile south), Clatterford (1 mile south), Plaish (1 mile south), Bowcombe (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (8 miles south-east) and Shanklin (8 miles south-east). Island and remote properties take a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for air source heat pumps.

Gunville: your questions answered
Is Gunville within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Gunville?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Gunville is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Gunville and across the Isle of Wight. Let us know who the records should go to.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Gunville easier.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

For landlords and property managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Gunville?
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Period properties close to St. Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
