Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Bramhall, Stockport

Let’s talk about the biggest hurdle first: the cost. Most people we chat with are surprised to learn that the government is currently offering a £7,500 grant through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it's a direct discount off the price of your ASHP installation. It makes the transition to renewable heating much more affordable, often bringing the cost down to a similar level as a high-end boiler replacement. We handle the paperwork for you, so you don't have to worry about the red tape. Why pay full price for an old-fashioned system when you can get a significant chunk of a modern, low-carbon system paid for? It’s a bit of a no-brainer for anyone looking to future-proof their property.

You might be wondering if a heat pump can really handle a chilly Cheshire winter. The answer is a resounding yes. These systems are incredibly clever—they work a bit like a fridge in reverse, extracting heat from the outside air even when it feels freezing to us. In technical terms, we look at the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). Essentially, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce 3 or 4kW of heat. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which is never more than 92-94% efficient. By running at a low-flow temperature, your radiators stay at a consistent, gentle warmth, making your home feel much more comfortable throughout the day rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get from old radiators.

We don't believe in a 'one size fits all' approach. Before we even think about picking up a spanner, we carry out a detailed heat loss survey of your home. This involves looking at everything from your insulation levels to the size of your windows. It’s the only way to ensure your new system is sized perfectly for your needs. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of saying we let the local power grid know about your new equipment. From the initial design to the final commissioning of your unvented hot water cylinder, our team ensures a seamless transition. We've seen too many 'cowboy' installs where systems are undersized, leaving people cold in January—we make sure that never happens to our customers.
