Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ware
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
In a place like Ware, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Ware?
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Comparing heat pump types
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Comparing quotes
- If the figure could change on the day
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Ware.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ware
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ware?
Ware is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit a heat pump in Ware without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Ware. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Ware, normally Dover council).
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
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.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Heat pumps in Ware: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 37% of homes across Ware and its surrounding area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Goodnestone Park lies about 4.3 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
