Air source heat pumps in Locksgreen, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We are often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, across air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Locksgreen typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Locksgreen
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. 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:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
Questions to ask before you book
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Heat pumps in Locksgreen: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Locksgreen. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The middle of Locksgreen is part of a conservation area. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Isle of Wight council) where needed. About 35% of homes in the Locksgreen area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Swainston Manor lies about 1.7 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Common questions in Locksgreen
Is the heat pump grant available in Locksgreen?
Locksgreen is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Locksgreen?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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 the survey helps decide.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
