Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Chorley, Lancashire

Let’s talk about the best part: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). Right now, the government is offering a massive £7,500 grant to help homeowners in Chorley switch from old gas or oil boilers to a modern ASHP. That is a huge chunk of the cost covered right off the bat. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at just how affordable the transition becomes once that grant is applied. We’ll handle the heavy lifting for you, including the application process, so you don't have to get bogged down in paperwork. It’s all part of our goal to make the switch as seamless as possible. Why keep pouring money into an old, inefficient boiler when you could have a brand-new, high-tech system installed for a fraction of the usual price? Give us a ring on 01925 597837 and we can chat through how the grant works for your specific property.

You might have heard some technical jargon like SCOP or COP thrown around. In plain English, this just measures how much heat you get for every bit of electricity you pay for. With a traditional gas boiler, you never get back more than you put in. With an ASHP, for every 1kW of electricity used, you can get 3kW or even 4kW of heat out. That is what we call efficiency. Because these systems run at a 'low-flow temperature', they provide a steady, comfortable warmth rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get from old radiators. It makes for a much nicer atmosphere in the house, especially during those damp Lancashire winters. We'll make sure your system is sized perfectly so you get the maximum benefit from this technology without wasting a penny.

We don't just turn up and swap a box on the wall. A successful installation starts with a proper Heat Loss Survey. This is where we look at everything—your insulation, your windows, even the size of your rooms—to calculate exactly how much heat your home loses. It's a vital step because it ensures your new heat pump is the right size. Too small and you'll be cold; too big and you're wasting energy. Once we've got the numbers, we handle the DNO application to let the power grid know about your new system and ensure your electrics are up to the task. It's a thorough process, but it’s the only way to guarantee your home stays toasty when the North West weather does its worst. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (967977) are fully trained in these calculations, so you're in safe hands from start to finish.

A common question we get while out in Chorley is: 'Does it actually work when it's snowing?' The short answer is yes. Modern ASHPs are designed to pull heat from the air even at temperatures as low as -15°C. You won't be left shivering. Another big worry is noise. You might be picturing a loud, rattling fan, but the latest units are incredibly quiet—often no louder than a low hum that you'll barely notice while you're in the garden. We also specialise in pairing these pumps with unvented hot water cylinders, giving you mains-pressure hot water that makes for a fantastic shower experience. Whether you're retrofitting an older house or building something new, we’ve got the experience to make it work perfectly.
