Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Haydock, St. Helens

The biggest hurdle for most people when considering eco-friendly heating is the upfront cost. However, the UK government is currently offering a massive helping hand through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). You can get a £7,500 grant to put towards the installation of an air source heat pump. We’ll help you navigate the application process to make sure you’re getting every penny you're entitled to. It makes the transition from a traditional gas boiler to a modern ASHP far more affordable than you might think. Why pay full price for a new heating system when there is a significant chunk of funding sitting there waiting for you?

A common question we get while out on jobs in St. Helens is: "Does it actually work when it's freezing outside?" The simple answer is yes. Modern heat pumps are designed specifically for our climate. We talk a lot about 'SCOP'—that’s the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. In plain English, it means that for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you get about 3 to 4kW of heat back out. That is a level of efficiency a standard boiler simply cannot touch. Whether you are refurbishing a terrace near Haydock Park or building something brand new, these systems provide consistent warmth and plenty of mains-pressure hot water all year round.

We don’t believe in guesswork. Before we even think about installing a pump, we carry out a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your home. We look at everything—your insulation, the size of your windows, and even the type of flooring you have. This ensures we size the unit perfectly for your needs. If the system is too small, you’ll be cold; if it’s too big, you’re wasting money. As local plumbing experts, we ensure your radiators or underfloor heating are up to the task. Sometimes, a quick radiator powerflushing service is all that's needed to get your existing setup ready for the lower flow temperatures that heat pumps use to stay efficient.

Installing an ASHP involves a bit more than just swapping a box on the wall. There’s the DNO application—which is basically just telling the local power grid about your new kit—and ensuring everything meets the strict MCS standards. The good news? Our team at Redorr handles all of that paperwork for you. We’re Gas Safe registered (967977) and fully insured, so you know the job is being done by professionals who live and work right here in the North West. We pride ourselves on a seamless transition, so you won’t be left without heating or hot water for a moment longer than necessary.
