Tucked just off Holderness Road in East Hull, Garden Village is one of the city's quiet surprises — a conservation area of Arts and Crafts cottages, tree-lined culs-de-sac and shared greens built by Reckitt & Sons for their workers in the early 1900s. The cottage-style semis here were never designed with modern heating in mind, which is exactly why so many residents around Lambwath Road and Dansom Lane are now asking us about heat pumps as their old gas boilers reach the end of their working life.
Heat Pump Installation in Garden Village
Because Garden Village sits within a conservation area, homeowners are often (rightly) cautious about anything visible from the street. Our engineers survey each cottage individually, sizing the system to the property's radiators, insulation and room layout, and positioning the outdoor unit sensitively so it doesn't disrupt the look of these characterful greens and closes. We also look at pipe routing carefully, since many of these cottages have shared boundaries and compact rear gardens rather than the wide plots you'd find on a modern estate.
Why Garden Village Homes Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Many of the semi-detached cottages here still run on older gas boilers that are becoming expensive and inefficient to keep going. Switching to an air source heat pump gives these compact, well-built Edwardian homes a cleaner, lower-running-cost way to heat both rooms and hot water, without altering the character that makes Garden Village worth protecting. Because the cottages were built to a consistent Arts and Crafts pattern, we've got a good feel for how heat pumps perform in this type of solid-wall construction, which makes the survey process quicker and more accurate for residents.
