Air source heat pumps in Sandown
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Sandown normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Heat pumps in Sandown: local notes
Sandown is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. Sandown’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Sandown, including Christchurch (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If your home is one of the older properties near Christ Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Sandown
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Sandown?
It can, as Sandown is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is Sandown within the area you cover?
Yes. Sandown is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.

- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare

How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What a customer said
“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.”
