Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Litherland, Sefton

The biggest question we get asked is usually about the cost. It’s no secret that green tech can be an investment, but that’s where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) comes in. Currently, the government is offering a £7,500 grant to help homeowners in Litherland swap out their old, clunky boilers for a modern ASHP. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it’s a direct discount on the installation. We handle the paperwork for you, so you don't have to worry about the red tape. Imagine getting a brand-new, eco-friendly heating system for a fraction of the usual price. It’s a fantastic way to future-proof your home and add some serious value to your property while the funding is still available. Why keep pouring money into an old boiler when the government is essentially offering to help pay for its replacement?

You might have heard myths that heat pumps don't work when it gets chilly in the North West. Luckily, that’s just not true. Modern units are designed to work perfectly even when it’s well below freezing. We focus on something called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In plain English, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you can get 3 to 4kW of heat back out. Try getting that kind of efficiency from a traditional gas or electric heater! Because these systems run at a low-flow temperature, they provide a consistent, steady warmth rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get from old radiators. It makes for a much more comfortable home environment, especially during those long, damp Sefton winters. Plus, if you’re currently on oil or LPG, you’ll likely see a massive difference in your monthly outgoings almost immediately.

We don't believe in a 'one size fits all' approach. Before we even think about picking up a spanner, we carry out a full Heat Loss Survey of your Litherland property. This means we look at your insulation, your windows, and even the size of your current radiators to make sure the system is perfectly sized. If the unit is too small, you'll be cold; if it's too big, you're wasting energy. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of saying we let the local power grid know about your new system. It’s all part of the seamless transition we pride ourselves on. We’ll also chat with you about whether you need an unvented hot water cylinder to give you that lovely mains-pressure shower experience that everyone loves.
