About our air source heat pumps in Hardwick
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If you are dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Hardwick, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s 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.

Questions from Hardwick
Is the heat pump grant available in Hardwick?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Hardwick is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Hardwick need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Hardwick sits inside the Hardwick Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, typically the authority for Hardwick.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line to arrange one.
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, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Does servicing affect my 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.

Advice
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- What kind of system it is
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hardwick
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Enquiries answered the same working day
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
What a heat pump looks like in Hardwick
About 38% of homes across Hardwick and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Waddesdon Manor about 4.8 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
