Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Kearsley, Bolton

Let's talk money first, because it's usually the biggest hurdle. Did you know the UK government is currently offering a massive £7,500 via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)? That's a huge chunk of the installation cost covered right off the bat. Most homeowners we chat with in Kearsley are surprised at how affordable it makes the switch from a traditional boiler. We handle the paperwork and the application for you, so you don't have to worry about the red tape. If you're tired of expensive oil or LPG bills, there's never been a better time to act. Give us a ring on 01925 597837 to see if you're eligible.

A common question we get is, "Will it actually work when it's freezing outside?" The short answer is yes. ASHPs are incredibly clever—they pull heat from the outside air, even when temperatures drop well below zero. Think of it like a fridge working in reverse. In technical terms, we look at the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance). Essentially, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can output 3 to 4kW of heat into your home. It's remarkably efficient compared to a standard boiler, and because it runs at a "low-flow temperature," you get a steady, comfortable warmth rather than the "blast of heat" followed by a chill that old radiators often give.

We don't just turn up and bolt a unit to your wall. Every successful ASHP installation starts with a thorough Heat Loss Survey. We'll look at your insulation, windows, and room sizes to make sure the system is perfectly sized for your Kearsley home. Once we've got the design right, we handle the DNO application—that's just letting the local power grid know you're adding a heat pump. From there, our Gas Safe registered engineers (No. 967977) take over. We pride ourselves on tidy work; imagine coming home to a perfectly heated house with no mess left behind and a system that's built to last.

Moving to renewable energy is one of the best things you can do for your property's EPC rating. By retrofitting an ASHP, you're significantly reducing your carbon footprint. Many of our clients in the Bolton area also opt to pair their new pump with an unvented hot water cylinder. The result? Powerful, mains-pressure hot water in every shower and tap, all at the same time. No more shouting at someone to get out of the shower because you've turned the kitchen tap on! It's about making your home a more comfortable place to live while doing your bit for the planet.
