Air source heat pumps in Hunny Hill, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Homes around Hunny Hill typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Questions from Hunny Hill
Will you come out to Hunny Hill?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Hunny Hill?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Hunny Hill 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 Isle of Wight council, which is typically the planning authority for Hunny Hill first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Hunny Hill.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Related advice
Pricing air source heat pumps in Hunny Hill
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The address and the type of property
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Why deal with it now?
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. 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 place like Hunny Hill, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
