Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Hyde, Tameside

Most people we chat with in Hyde are surprised to learn just how much help is available from the government. Through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you can currently get a £7,500 grant to help cover the cost of replacing your old gas or oil boiler with a modern heat pump. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it is a direct discount on the installation. We handle the paperwork and the application for you, making the whole process as smooth as possible. When you factor in this grant, the jump to renewable energy becomes a much easier decision for your wallet.

A common question we get asked over a cuppa is, "Will it actually keep me warm when it's freezing outside?" It is a fair point, but the technology is incredibly clever. An ASHP works like a fridge in reverse, extracting heat from the outside air even when temperatures drop well below zero. In the industry, we talk about the 'Seasonal Coefficient of Performance' (SCOP), which is just a fancy way of saying it's incredibly efficient. For every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you'll typically get 3 to 4kW of heat back into your home. That is a level of efficiency a traditional boiler simply cannot match.

Choosing the right team is vital because a heat pump needs to be sized perfectly for your specific property. We don't believe in 'one size fits all' solutions. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (967977) start every project with a detailed Heat Loss Survey. We look at your insulation, your windows, and your current pipework to ensure the system we design will keep you toasty without wasting energy. From the initial DNO application to inform the grid, right through to the final commissioning, we manage the entire project so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Imagine waking up to a home that's always at the perfect temperature, without those sudden blasts of heat followed by cold spells. Heat pumps run at a 'low-flow temperature,' meaning they provide a steady, consistent warmth. This makes them perfect for underfloor heating or larger, modern radiators. If you are currently using LPG or oil to heat your home in the more rural parts of Tameside, you'll likely see a significant difference in your running costs. Plus, if you ever need other work done, from radiator powerflushing to unvented hot water cylinder installation, our team has the expertise to handle it all.
