Hardwick, on the north-western edge of Stockton-on-Tees, has grown up around the retail park and Hardwick Country Park, with a mix of 1970s and 80s estates and newer developments filling in the streets nearby. It's a part of County Durham where modern combi boilers still dominate, but a growing number of Hardwick homeowners are now looking at air source heat pumps as gas prices climb and boilers reach the end of their working life. Streets around Hardwick Green and the newer plots towards Bishopsgarth fall within the same catchment for us, and each gets the same level of attention whether it is a five year old boiler or a brand new heat pump installation.
Why Hardwick Homes Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Many Hardwick properties were built to a fairly standard layout, which actually makes them well suited to a heat pump retrofit – decent loft insulation, straightforward pipe runs, and gardens or driveways with room for an outdoor unit. We're also seeing more enquiries from properties along Hardwick Green and Fairfield Road, where similar semi-detached layouts make for a fairly predictable, cost-effective installation.
Annual Heat Pump Servicing in Hardwick
A heat pump left unserviced will quietly lose efficiency long before it breaks down completely, so we treat the annual visit as a proper service rather than a five-minute box tick. That covers full safety and efficiency checks, an assessment of the system's water and glycol quality, and a PDF report you keep on file to protect your manufacturer's warranty.
- Heat Pump Only plans for a straightforward annual check
- Heat Pump & Cylinder plans for combined hot water systems
- Hybrid plans where a heat pump runs alongside a gas boiler
