Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Wellow
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you’re dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
For a home around Wellow that’s 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, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Wellow
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The make and model of the system, from the label

FAQs for Wellow
Is Wellow within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Wellow?
It can, as Wellow is within about 2 miles 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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wellow
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
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 are happy to deal with whoever it is.

Homes in Wellow and heat pumps
Wellow is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 35% of homes in the Wellow area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Central Wellow is inside a conservation area. About 7 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Wellow, Wellow House (grade II) among them. 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 the planning team at Isle of Wight council, which usually handles Wellow.
Mottistone Manor lies about 2.8 miles south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around Wellow Baptist Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Wellow is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO41, we can help with air source heat pumps. In the Isle of Wight alone we list 125 places and Wellow is among them. Worthing, roughly 47 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Every address in PO41 is within our area. If you’re just outside Wellow, we cover Thorley Street (1 mile north-west), Ningwood (1 mile east), Thorley (1 mile north-west), Newbridge (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east) and Sandown (13 miles east). Remote and island properties need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which 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. Visits to Wellow are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
