What makes Adapt Renewables different from larger companies?

We combine expert knowledge with a personal, hands-on approach. While big companies can be impersonal and slow, we focus on your home, your needs, and zero disruption. You get the efficiency and quality of a large installer but with speed, flexibility, and attention to detail that only a dedicated local team can provide.

How much does a heat pump installation cost in Chesterfield?

Air source heat pump installations in Chesterfield and Derbyshire typically start from around £3,700 depending on size and complexity. With the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant of up to £7,500, many homeowners pay significantly less. We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden fees.

Do you do general plumbing as well as heat pumps?

Yes — Adapt Renewables handles all aspects of heating and plumbing, from a dripping tap or leaking pipe to full central heating installations, bathroom fits, and specialist plant room builds. No job is too small.

What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a UK government grant providing up to £7,500 towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump. Adapt Renewables handles all the paperwork and eligibility checks on your behalf.

Do you cover Sheffield and surrounding areas?

Yes, Adapt Renewables covers Chesterfield, Sheffield, and all surrounding areas across Derbyshire. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific location.

How long does a heat pump installation take?

Most air source heat pump installations take between 4–7 days depending on the complexity of the system and work programme. This covers outdoor unit positioning, pipework runs, indoor connections, commissioning, controls setup, and handover.

Will I be without heating during installation?

For most of the installation day, yes — your heating and hot water will be off while we make the connections. We plan the work to minimise this and always let you know in advance.

Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?

In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps fall under permitted development rights in England, Scotland, and Wales. We handle all the checks and notify the local authority where required.

What warranty do I get on a heat pump installation?

You receive a manufacturer warranty of up to 7 years on the heat pump equipment, plus a 2-year workmanship guarantee on all installation work. All warranties are provided in writing at handover.

No Surprises, Ever

What to Expect — Start to Finish

From your first call to your annual service reminder — here's exactly how we work.

Before Installation

Free Survey & System Design

We visit your home and carry out a full room-by-room heat loss calculation — the Heat Geek way. This ensures your system is correctly sized, not just guessed. We'll confirm the right unit, flow temperatures, and any radiator or pipework changes needed.

Quote & Grant Application

You'll receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs. If you're eligible for the BUS grant, we submit the application to Ofgem before any work begins. Approval timescales vary — typically within a few working days, though it can take longer during busy periods.

Installation Date Confirmed

Once the grant is approved and you're happy to proceed, we book your installation date. We'll confirm exactly what will happen, how long it will take, and what (if anything) you need to prepare.

Installation Day

Arrival & Walkthrough

Our engineers arrive at the agreed time — typically 8–8:30am. We'll do a quick walkthrough with you to confirm the plan, point out where equipment will be positioned, and answer any last-minute questions.

Protection & Preparation

We lay dust sheets throughout the work areas and protect your flooring and furniture. We treat your home as if it were our own — no muddy boots, no mess left behind.

Installation Work

For a heat pump installation, expect 4–7 days of work depending on the complexity of your system and work programme. The outdoor unit is positioned and secured, pipework is run to the indoor unit, and the system is connected to your heating circuit. Boiler replacements are typically completed in a single day.

Commissioning & Testing

Once installed, we commission the system fully — checking pressures, flow rates, and temperatures. For heat pumps, we set the weather compensation curve and optimise the controls for your home's heat loss profile.

Handover & Walkthrough

Before we leave, we walk you through the controls, explain how to get the best from your system, and answer any questions. You'll receive all documentation including MCS certificate, warranty cards, and commissioning report.

After Installation

First Week Check-In

We'll follow up within the first week to make sure everything is running as expected and you're comfortable with the controls. Any teething issues are dealt with quickly — usually remotely.

Ongoing Support

You can call or message us any time with questions. We don't disappear after the job — we're a local team and your long-term heating partner.

Annual Servicing

We recommend annual servicing for both heat pumps and boilers to maintain efficiency, protect your warranty, and catch any issues early. We'll remind you when it's due.

Ask Us Anything

We Don't Disappear After the Job

Aftercare & Ongoing Support

The installation is just the beginning. Here's how we look after you for the long term.

Direct Access to Your Engineer

You'll have a direct line to the engineer who installed your system — not a call centre. If something doesn't feel right, call us and we'll talk you through it or arrange a visit.

Annual Service Reminders

We'll contact you when your annual service is due — you don't need to remember. Regular servicing keeps your warranty valid, your system efficient, and your energy bills low.

Remote Diagnostics

Most modern heat pumps (Stiebel Eltron ISG, Panasonic Smart Cloud, Samsung SmartThings) allow remote monitoring. We can often diagnose and resolve issues without needing to visit.

Performance Optimisation

Heat pumps perform best when the controls are tuned to your home. If your bills seem higher than expected, we'll review your weather compensation settings and flow temperatures — often a free fix.

Priority Callout

As an existing customer, you go to the front of the queue. We aim to respond to heating failures within 24 hours — faster in winter when it matters most.

Efficiency Reviews

As energy tariffs and technology evolve, we'll let you know if there are ways to improve your system's performance — whether that's a smart tariff, battery storage, or a controls upgrade.
