Air source heat pumps in Hawley: the local picture
The middle of Hawley is part of a conservation area. In the mile around Hawley’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hawley, including Holy Trinity Church (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Hart council) where needed. VOA council tax data date about 55% of homes in and around Hawley to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
For a home near Blackwater station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hawley
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. We are often asked to deal with working out where a cylinder could go and comparing heat pump types, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a house near Hawley, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Everything the job in Hawley needs is worked out beforehand.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

What affects the quote in Hawley
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Before you get in touch
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Hawley?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Older homes near Holy Trinity Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

FAQs for Hawley
Do you cover smaller places like Hawley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hawley?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hawley, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Hawley and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
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.
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
