At HF, we understand that whether you are managing a large-scale industrial facility or a private residence, heating is a fundamental necessity that requires absolute reliability. Our Mechanical division provides comprehensive heating services, covering everything from the design of commercial boiler rooms to the installation of high-efficiency domestic systems.
As ‘A Company Well Connected,’ we provide a unique advantage: our Gas Engineers work alongside our in-house Electricians, Fire & Security engineers and HVAC team allowing us to offer a complete “Turnkey” package, ensuring your boilers, pumps, and smart controls are perfectly integrated from day one.

Why Choose HF for Heating?
Heating systems fail when the “Mechanical” doesn’t talk to the “Electrical.” At HF, we eliminate that risk.
- Multi-Discipline Coordination: Most heating engineers have to call an external electrician to wire up a boiler or a control panel. At HF, our own Electrical team handles the wiring, and our Automated Controls team manages the sensors.
- Gas Safe Registered: All our engineers are fully certified and undergo regular training to stay ahead of industry advancements.
- Emergency Support: With branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Belfast, and Aberdeen, we provide rapid response times when you need us most.
- Energy Focused: We don’t just “fix” heating; we optimise it. We look at the entire system to see where Green Energy or better insulation can save you money.
A Legacy of Warmth and Safety
With over 300 years in business, we have seen heating technology evolve from coal fires to smart-controlled renewables. Our longevity is built on trust, integrity, and the fact that we never walk away from a project until the customer is satisfied.
Whether you need a commercial gas safety certificate or a new domestic boiler, HF delivers an unsurpassed level of in-house capability.
