Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Irlam, Salford

Most people we chat with in Irlam are surprised to learn just how much help is available. Through the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you could be eligible for a £7,500 grant to help cover the cost of your new heat pump. That is a massive chunk of the investment taken care of right away. We don't just leave you to figure out the paperwork either; we’ll guide you through the process to make it as smooth as possible. Why stick with an ageing, inefficient boiler when you can future-proof your home with a system that’s designed for the next twenty years? It’s about making sustainable heating affordable for real people in our community, and there has truly never been a better time to make the jump.

A common question we get while out on jobs in Salford is, "But will it actually work when it’s snowing?" The short answer is yes. Modern air source heat pumps are incredibly resilient. They use what we call a high Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In plain English, that means for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce 3 to 4kW of heat for your home. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which is never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why the savings start to add up. We focus on 'low-flow temperatures', which means your radiators stay at a steady, comfortable warmth rather than the 'on-off' scorching heat of old systems. It creates a much more consistent climate indoors, so you won't be reaching for a jumper every time the boiler cycles off.

We don’t believe in guesswork. Before we even think about bringing a van round to start the install, we carry out a comprehensive Heat Loss Survey of your Irlam property. We look at everything—your insulation, the size of your windows, and even the type of flooring you have. This ensures your ASHP is sized perfectly; too small and it’ll struggle, too big and you’re wasting energy. Once we’ve got the plan, we handle the technical bits like the DNO application to the local power grid. It’s all part of the service. We can also chat about whether your existing radiators need an upgrade or if a radiator powerflush could help your new system run at its absolute peak. Our goal is a seamless transition that leaves you wondering why you didn't do it years ago.
