About our air source heat pumps in Oakfield
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 don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. We are often asked to deal with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home near Oakfield has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Oakfield
Is Oakfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Oakfield?
It can. Oakfield is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
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 doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Planning ahead for a job near Oakfield means we can arrive with everything needed.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Around Oakfield, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Rented and managed buildings
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.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What air conditioning will not do
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Oakfield
Homes in Oakfield and heat pumps
The coast is only about 2 miles from Oakfield. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 53% of homes in the Oakfield area before 1919. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Oakfield’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Michael and All Angels (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Isle of Wight council, typically the planning authority here.
For a home near Ryde St Johns Road station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Nunwell House lies about 2.6 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Oakfield is about 6 miles south-west of Southsea, in the Isle of Wight.

Remote and island properties need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for air source heat pumps.
