Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Leyland, Lancashire

One of the most common things people ask us when we're out in Leyland is: "Will it actually keep me warm when it's freezing outside?" It’s a fair question. The short answer is yes. Air source heat pumps are clever bits of kit that work like a fridge in reverse. They extract heat from the outside air—even when it feels properly cold to us—and move it into your home. We talk a lot about 'SCOP' or 'Seasonal Coefficient of Performance'. In plain English, that just means for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you get about 3 to 4kW of heat back. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which is usually less than 1kW of heat for every 1kW of gas, and you can see why the savings start to add up. It’s all about low-flow temperatures, providing a steady, comfortable warmth rather than the 'on-off' blast of old-fashioned radiators.

Moving to renewable energy can feel like a bit of a minefield, but we make the transition as seamless as possible. Before we even pick up a spanner, we carry out a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your property. This isn't just a quick walk-around; we look at your insulation, windows, and room sizes to make sure your new ASHP is sized perfectly. We also take care of the DNO application—that’s just us chatting to the local power grid folks to make sure everything is safe to connect. We’re proud to be a local, family-run business and our Gas Safe registration (967977) means you’re in safe hands. We don't do 'one size fits all' solutions; we design a system that fits your life and your home in Leyland.

You might have heard that heat pumps are noisy or take up too much room. If you’ve seen older models, you might have a point, but modern units are remarkably quiet. Think of it like a quiet hum, similar to a modern fridge, usually sitting outside on a flat patch of ground or mounted on a wall. Inside, we often install an unvented hot water cylinder to give you that lovely mains-pressure hot water in your shower. If you’re worried about where it will all go, don't be. Most homes in South Ribble have a perfect spot for the unit that won't disrupt your garden or your peace and quiet. We'll walk through the layout with you during our visit so you know exactly what to expect.
