We used Rickman Heat to install the ASHP and hot water cylinder into our new Passive House in Herefordshire. Fred and his team were professional and knowledgeable and clearly knew how to get the best performance from our ASHP. I've met plumbers who will install an ASHP and not care whether it performs or not. This is NOT the case with Rickman heat. Lovely tidy job. They were all a pleasure to have in the house. Nothing was too much trouble and they took pride in delivering a first class job. Communication was great with the office and the paperwork was straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend Fred and the guys to anyone.

Fred and his team installed a heat pump in our house and I have to say they wen't out of their way to make it as smooth for us during the install as they could. Also the design means that the impact on our house is minimal. I couldn't be happier. There was an issue that came up that we agreed a solution to, but an hour later one of the team came back to me and said "I have thought of a better solution, what do you think?" Despite this meaning more work for them. Fred also got his team re-laying the patio, despite this being initially excluded, just because they'd run out of things to do. Really top rate. Only challenge is how popular and busy they are!

Fred designed and installed an air source heat pump system (7kW Vaillant Arotherm Plus) replacing our existing gas boiler and cylinder, also involving a partial repipe and replacement of most of our radiators. The install went very smoothly and we are really pleased with the results. Would recommend to anybody!

Fred, Chris and Gary were absolutely brilliant. It's such a huge job but they worked incredibly hard and had the whole job done extremely quickly, even doing a few extras as well. They are all lovely to work with and minimised the disruption for us as much as possible. Fred and the team clearly have a huge passion for getting these systems in and working as efficiently as possible and this really comes across. Their expertise was really clear and invaluable for implementing such a complex project. If you have an older or weird property, or been told you can't have one, that it would be too difficult, trust these guys with your heat pump install.

Fred and his team are terrific, reliable professionals who installed an air source heat pump for us. They designed and fitted the entire heating and hot water set up for our old victorian house. The job ran on time, with clear communication throughout and the price quoted was the final quote paid. Really couldn't recommend them more, and already have to others considering getting a heat pump.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know you’re properly qualified and certified to install heat pumps?

We are MCS‑certified and registered with an approved consumer protection/competent person scheme, which is essential for quality assurance and to access grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).

Can you tell me if a heat pump is actually suitable for my home?

We carry out a detailed home assessment, including property type, insulation levels, existing heating system and available outdoor space, to confirm whether a heat pump is a good fit.

What type and size of heat pump will you recommend for my property, and why?

We design the system using a heat‑loss calculation for your home, then match the correct kW size and model (for example, air‑source vs ground‑source) so it runs efficiently and reliably.

What will the full installation cost be, and what’s included in your quote?

Our fixed quote clearly lists the heat pump, cylinder, controls, labour, scaffolding (if needed), electrical work and any radiator or pipework upgrades, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you help me access government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

Yes, as an MCS installer we can confirm your eligibility, apply for the BUS grant (worth up to £7,500) on your behalf and deduct it directly from your quote.

How much disruption should I expect during installation, and how long does it take?

A typical air‑source heat pump installation takes around 2–5 days, and we’ll agree locations for the indoor and outdoor units, manage any planning considerations and keep you informed each day.

Will I need to replace my radiators or upgrade anything else in my home?

After the heat‑loss survey, we’ll advise if any radiators, pipework, electrics or hot‑water cylinder need upgrading so the system can run efficiently at lower flow temperatures.

How noisy is the outdoor unit and where will it be installed?

Modern heat pumps are designed to be quiet and must meet UK noise regulations; we’ll position the unit to minimise any impact on you and your neighbours and comply with local planning rules.

What warranties, servicing and aftercare do you provide?

You’ll get manufacturer warranties on the heat pump plus our workmanship guarantee, and we offer ongoing servicing and support to keep your system performing at its best.

What running costs and savings can I realistically expect compared to my current boiler?

We’ll estimate your likely annual running costs and potential savings based on your current fuel type, insulation level and tariffs, using real‑world performance data rather than lab figures.
