Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Kirkby, Knowsley

Let's talk about the biggest hurdle: the cost. Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that the government is currently offering a massive helping hand. Through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you can get £7,500 off the cost of your ASHP installation. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it is a direct grant to encourage the move away from fossil fuels. As your local experts, we handle the heavy lifting for you, including the application process, making the transition from an old boiler to a new renewable system remarkably affordable. Why pay the full price for an old-fashioned boiler when you could have a state-of-the-art heating system for a fraction of the expected cost?

A common question we get over a cuppa is, 'Will it actually keep me warm when it's freezing outside?' The answer is a resounding yes. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to extract heat from the air even when temperatures drop as low as -15°C. We look at something called 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 for your home. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which is never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why the maths adds up. By running at a 'low-flow temperature,' these systems provide a consistent, comfortable warmth throughout your home rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get from old radiators.

Choosing someone to overhaul your heating system is a big decision. You want to know that the person turning up at your door actually knows the area and the specific challenges of local housing stock. Based just down the road, Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd is a family-run business that prides itself on being part of the community. We aren't a national corporate giant; we are local engineers who care about our reputation in Kirkby, St Helens, and the wider Merseyside region. Every one of our installers is Gas Safe registered (967977) and fully insured, meaning you get the professional standards of a big firm with the personal touch of a local neighbour. We treat your home with the respect it deserves, from the first survey to the final tidy-up.

We don't believe in guesswork. Before we even think about picking up a spanner, we perform a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your property. This involves measuring every room, checking your insulation, and looking at your existing radiators to ensure the new ASHP is sized perfectly. If the system is too small, it'll struggle; if it's too big, it'll waste energy. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of saying we let the local power grid know you're installing a heat pump so everything stays safe and compliant. Our goal is a seamless transition. Often, we pair these systems with an unvented hot water cylinder, giving you powerful, mains-pressure showers that'll make your old gravity-fed system feel like a relic of the past.
