Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Congleton, Cheshire East

A common question we get while out in Congleton is, "Will it actually keep me warm when it's freezing outside?" It’s a fair point! The clever bit about an ASHP is that it can extract heat from the air even when it’s well below zero. Think of it like a fridge working in reverse. Instead of taking heat out of a box to keep your milk cold, it takes heat from the outside air and pumps it into your radiators or underfloor heating. We look at something called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In simple terms, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you often get 3 or 4kW of heat back. Compare that to an old gas boiler where you're lucky to get 0.9kW of heat for every 1kW of gas, and you can see why the savings start to add up.

We don't just 'guess' what size unit you need. Before we even think about picking up a spanner, we carry out a full heat loss survey of your home. We'll look at your insulation, the size of your rooms, and even your window types. This ensures your new system is sized perfectly. If it's too small, you'll be cold; if it's too big, you're wasting energy. Most homeowners we speak to in the North West are surprised at how much detail goes into this stage, but it's the only way to ensure your system runs at those low-flow temperatures that make heat pumps so efficient. It’s all about creating a steady, comfortable warmth rather than the 'blast of heat then cold' cycle you get with traditional boilers.
