Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Altrincham, Trafford

The biggest question we get asked is usually about the cost. It's a fair point, as installing a new heating system is a big investment. However, did you know you could be eligible for a £7,500 grant through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)? This government initiative is designed to help Altrincham residents bridge the gap between a standard boiler replacement and a renewable ASHP installation. We'll handle the heavy lifting for you, guiding you through the application process to ensure you get the funding you're entitled to. When you combine this grant with the long-term savings on your energy bills, the transition to renewable heating becomes a very sensible financial move. Why pay more for gas when the air around your home can provide all the warmth you need?

You might be wondering if a heat pump can really keep an Altrincham home warm during a damp, chilly North West winter. The short answer is yes. Modern ASHPs are incredibly clever pieces of kit. They work by extracting heat from the outside air—even when it feels freezing to us—and boosting it to heat your radiators and hot water. We talk a lot about 'SCOP' (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance), which is just a fancy way of saying efficiency. For every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you can get 3 to 4kW of heat back out. That’s roughly 300-400% efficiency, whereas a brand-new gas boiler rarely hits 92%. It’s about running your heating at a 'low-flow temperature,' which provides a consistent, comfortable warmth throughout your house rather than the 'on-and-off' blasts of heat you get from old-fashioned systems.

We don't believe in guesswork. Every project we take on in Trafford starts with a detailed Heat Loss Survey. We'll look at your insulation, your window types, and your current radiator sizes to make sure your new ASHP is perfectly sized for your rooms. If you need a radiator upgrade or a new unvented hot water cylinder to get that lovely mains-pressure shower experience, we'll include it all in a clear, fixed-price quote. We also take care of the technical bits like the DNO application, which is just us letting the local power grid know about your new system. From the first bolt to the final commissioning, our team ensures a seamless transition so you aren't left in the cold. Ready to see what's possible?
