Wareside: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wareside?
Wareside is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Wareside?
Yes. Wareside is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter, so we check for your property.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 to book it.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Wareside
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in 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 do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Common call-outs are for working out whether radiators need upsizing and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a place like Wareside, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Heat pumps in Wareside: local notes
Central Wareside is inside the Wareside Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 23 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Wareside; New Hall (grade II*) is one. 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 East Hertfordshire council, which normally handles Wareside. About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace, about 3.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Local landmarks in Wareside
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Chequers Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Ware station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The pipe route between the units
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The address and the type of property
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.
Why act early in Wareside
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Planning ahead for a job in Wareside means we can bring everything needed.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Wareside is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
