How we handle air source heat pumps in Ware
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Older homes in a town like Ware can still suit a heat pump, sometimes with larger radiators or more insulation. We work that out from a heat loss calculation.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Do not 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. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What affects the quote in Ware
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Shops and offices in Ware can normally stay open while we work, or we come after hours.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Ware
At about 22 miles from central London, Ware sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. Central Ware is inside the Ware Conservation Area. About 186 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ware, Place House (grade I) among them. 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 East Hertfordshire council, normally the planning authority here.
Homeowners near Ware station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Period properties close to Christ Church Ware can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Ware
Is the heat pump grant available in Ware?
Ware is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Ware?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ware is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
