Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Farnworth, Bolton

The biggest hurdle for most people when considering a heat pump is the upfront cost. However, thanks to the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you can currently get a massive £7,500 grant to help cover the installation. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it’s a direct incentive to help you ditch fossil fuels. We’ve seen this transform the decision-making process for families across Bolton. Imagine getting a top-tier heating system installed for a fraction of the usual price. We handle the paperwork and the application process for you, making the transition to renewable energy as seamless as possible. Give us a ring on 01925 597837 to see if your property qualifies.

Think of an Air Source Heat Pump like a fridge, but in reverse. It takes the heat from the outside air—even when it feels freezing outside in the middle of a Lancashire winter—and uses it to warm your home and your water. The magic happens through the 'Seasonal Coefficient of Performance' (SCOP). In simple terms, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce 3 to 4kW of heat. When you compare that to a traditional gas boiler, which is never even 100% efficient, the savings start to add up quickly. It’s about being clever with energy, not just using more of it.

One of the most common questions we get at the pub or on a job site is: 'Will it actually work when it’s snowing in Bolton?' The answer is a firm yes. Modern ASHP systems are designed to operate effectively even when temperatures drop as low as -20°C. Because they run at a 'low-flow temperature,' they provide a consistent, steady warmth rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get from a radiator attached to a standard boiler. We often pair these systems with an /unvented-hot-water-cylinder-installation to ensure you get mains-pressure hot water in your showers, no matter how many people are getting ready at once.

We don’t believe in 'one size fits all' solutions. Before we even pick up a tool, our team carries out a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your Farnworth property. We look at everything from your insulation levels to the size of your windows to ensure the heat pump we install is perfectly sized for your needs. We also take care of the DNO application—notifying the local power grid about your new system—so you don't have to worry about the technical red tape. From the initial design to the final commissioning, we manage every step of the process with the care and attention you’d expect from a local family-run firm.
