Homeowners near Hatfield station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Luke, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Air source heat pumps in Hatfield
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and a boiler that’s getting old.
Most homes around Hatfield have space for the outdoor unit, and it needs to meet the MCS noise check to be permitted development.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What else we do in Hatfield
Hatfield: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hatfield?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hatfield. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Welwyn Hatfield council, normally the authority for Hatfield first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hatfield?
Hatfield is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
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 we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
For air source heat pumps in Hatfield, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets.

Pictures of the space, the fuse board and the outside wall are a good start for a job in Hatfield.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
