- Checking whether planning permission is needed
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Around Hatfield Hyde, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Hatfield Hyde
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Older homes around Hatfield Hyde can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Air source heat pumps around Hatfield Hyde
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 61% of homes across Hatfield Hyde and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 43% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. In the mile around Hatfield Hyde’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around St Mary Magdalene Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Hatfield House about 1.7 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hatfield Hyde?

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
