About our air source heat pumps in Yarbridge
We begin with a room-by-room 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 isn’t good enough. If you’re dealing with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Yarbridge need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Air source heat pumps in Yarbridge: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Yarbridge. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. The middle of Yarbridge is part of a conservation area. The Roman Villa, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 18 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Yarbridge’s centre. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Isle of Wight council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Older homes near St. Mary's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Morton Manor about 0.1 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Yarbridge, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where we can park and unload

For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Yarbridge
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The address and the type of property
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Common questions in Yarbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Yarbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Yarbridge?
Yarbridge is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
