How we handle air source heat pumps in Newchurch
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We’re often asked to deal with checking emitters for a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Newchurch 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, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms 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.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Newchurch
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go

Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

FAQs for Newchurch
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Newchurch?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Newchurch is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with Isle of Wight council, which is typically the planning authority for Newchurch.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Newchurch?
Newchurch is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
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 does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Homes in Newchurch and heat pumps
Newchurch lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Haseley Manor about 0.8 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints' Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Around Newchurch
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Sandown Bay Academy and The Pointer Inn. Newchurch’s nearest station is Sandown station, roughly 2.1 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Museum of Country And Agriculture (0.9 miles west) and Sandown Castle (2.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Alverstone Mead and Brading Down.
The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Visits to Newchurch are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
