Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan

You might be wondering if a heat pump can really keep a house in Wigan warm during a damp, chilly January. It’s a common worry, but the technology is incredibly clever. These systems don't just 'work' in the cold; they thrive. We talk a lot about the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In plain English, that just means for every single kilowatt of electricity the pump uses, it can produce three or four kilowatts of heat for your home. Compare that to even the best gas boilers, which are never more than 100% efficient, and you’ll see why so many people are making the move. We’ve installed these systems in everything from older terraces near the town centre to newer builds out towards Haydock. As long as your home is insulated reasonably well, an ASHP provides a lovely, consistent warmth that feels much more natural than the 'blast' of heat you get from a traditional boiler.

Starting a renewable energy project can feel like a bit of a mountain to climb, but that’s exactly why we’re here. We don't just turn up and bolt a unit to your wall. The process starts with a proper Heat Loss Survey. We’ll pop round to your home in Ashton-In-Makerfield, measure your rooms, check your insulation, and calculate exactly how much heat your home loses. This ensures we size your system perfectly—too small and you’ll be cold, too big and you’re wasting energy. We also take care of the paperwork, including the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) application to let the local grid know about your new system. From the first assessment to the final handover, our team keeps things simple and transparent. We’re a local, family-run business at heart, and we treat every installation as if it were in our own mum’s house. No jargon, just honest advice and tidy work.

Most homeowners we speak to in Ashton-In-Makerfield have the same few concerns. 'Is it going to be loud?' or 'Where will the unit go?' are the big ones. Modern air source heat pumps are remarkably quiet—usually no louder than a low hum or a modern fridge. As for space, the outdoor unit sits neatly against an external wall, usually taking up about as much room as a couple of suitcases. If you’re worried about performance in the winter, rest easy. These systems are designed to extract heat from the air even when temperatures drop well below freezing. You'll also get mains-pressure hot water, often paired with a new unvented cylinder, meaning your morning shower will have more 'oomph' than ever before. If you’re switching from oil or LPG, the savings on your running costs can be quite an eye-opener too.
