About our air source heat pumps in Harcourt Hill
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and comparing heat pump types.
Older and listed homes in villages like Harcourt Hill need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Harcourt Hill
Is Harcourt Hill in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Harcourt Hill is within the area we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Harcourt Hill?
Harcourt Hill 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 skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.
Heat pumps in Harcourt Hill: local notes

Holywell Manor, roughly 2.3 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Lawrence can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep to regular servicing
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Harcourt Hill around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
