How we handle air source heat pumps in Jack's Hatch
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, 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 homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Older and listed homes in villages like Jack's Hatch need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

FAQs for Jack's Hatch
Will you come out to Jack's Hatch?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is the heat pump grant available in Jack's Hatch?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Jack's Hatch is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork 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 talk you through the next steps.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
System by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The application goes through the installer.
How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Jack's Hatch can be planned properly.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Air source heat pumps around Jack's Hatch
About 51% of homes in the Jack's Hatch area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 52% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. The Nazeing and South Roydon Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Jack's Hatch. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Richmonds Farmhouse (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at Harlow council, which usually handles Jack's Hatch.
Older homes near St James with St Luke may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
