Air source heat pumps around Moortown
Moortown is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 35% of homes in Moortown and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Mottistone Manor about 1.3 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to St. Mary's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Moortown
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Moortown, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.

Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Moortown easier.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Moortown
Will a heat pump in Moortown need planning permission?
It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Moortown. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Moortown, normally Isle of Wight council).
Do you cover smaller places like Moortown?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before any work starts.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
