About our air source heat pumps in Ramsey Island
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Common call-outs are for no space for a hot water cylinder and comparing heat pump types, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Ramsey Island that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a place like Ramsey Island, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Questions from Ramsey Island
Is Ramsey Island within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Ramsey Island?
It can, as Ramsey Island is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
The air-to-air grant is £2,500, and only some homes qualify. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. The relief doesn’t cover businesses, and this isn’t tax advice.
Heat pumps in Ramsey Island: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Ramsey Island is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. The 2021 Census found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Lawrence Church Centre, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
