Error converting data type varchar to float - MS SQL Server

I am facing data type conversation error while executing below select statement. Please advise how to fix below error.

SELECT 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) As ID1,
'Batch,' + 'ID1,' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) + ',SVC' AS Batch,
'Urgent request,' + 'ID1,' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) + ',SVC' AS [Urgent request],
'Total of Lines,' + 'ID1,' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) + ',SVC' AS [Total of Lines],
'Total quote value,' + 'ID1,' +CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) + ',SVC' AS [Total quote value],
'PO Value,' + 'ID1,' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #SVC.ID1) + ',SVC' AS [PO Value]
INTO #SVCSummary
FROM #SVC
GROUP BY [#SVC].[ID1],
#SVC.[Total of Lines],
#SVC.[Total quote value]
ORDER BY 
#SVC.[ID1] ASC;
SELECT Batch,
[Urgent Request],
[Total of Lines],
[Total Quote Value],
[PO Value]
FROM #HW
UNION 
SELECT Batch,
[Urgent Request],
[Total of Lines],
[Total Quote Value],
[PO Value]
FROM #SVCSummary;

Eyeball the column data types in tables #HW and #SVCSummary, and tell us if for any column the data type is different.

>Error converting data type varchar to float
I'm thinking that for a column #HW is a float, and for #SVCSummary it's a varchar.
