Air source heat pumps in Yaverland, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you’re dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
For a home around Yaverland that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Common questions in Yaverland
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Yaverland?
It can. Yaverland is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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 I fit a heat pump in Yaverland without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Yaverland is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Isle of Wight council, which is normally the planning authority for Yaverland.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Yaverland and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
What owners can safely do
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.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Air source heat pumps around Yaverland
Yaverland lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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.
Older homes near St John the Baptist Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Yaverland Manor about 0.5 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it 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 Yaverland 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.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
