For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
About our air source heat pumps in Niton
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; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Niton typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Somewhere like Niton, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

FAQs for Niton
Will you come out to Niton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Niton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Niton sits inside 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Isle of Wight council, which is normally the planning authority for Niton.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 to book it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
What a heat pump looks like in Niton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Niton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 35% of homes in the Niton area before 1919, and about 84% 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 normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St. John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Niton
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Historic houses such as Wolverton Manor, about 4.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What your quote should include
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why

“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.”
