Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
About our air source heat pumps in Wroxall
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are finding a place for the outdoor unit and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
If your home in or near Wroxall is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Homes in Wroxall and heat pumps
At about 2 miles from the coast, Wroxall is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The middle of Wroxall is part of a conservation area. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Wroxall, including Church of St John (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Isle of Wight council, which typically handles Wroxall. About 47% of homes in the Wroxall area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump.
Rylstone Manor, roughly 2.2 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around St John's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Wroxall is about 7 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO38 area, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Our list for the Isle of Wight has 125 entries, and Wroxall is one. Worthing is in our area too, around 39 miles away.
That includes properties on Station Road, High Street and St Martins Road and the roads around them. Work in PO38 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Neighbouring places we cover include Whiteley Bank (1 mile north), Sandford (1 mile north-west), Nettlecombe (2 miles south-west), Princelett (2 miles north) and Godshill (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (8 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north) and Sandown (4 miles north-east). Island and remote properties take a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for air source heat pumps.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Wroxall can be planned properly.
- 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.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you cannot get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Wroxall
Do you cover smaller places like Wroxall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Wroxall?
It can, as Wroxall is within about 2 miles 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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
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. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
