Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Maghull, Sefton

One of the biggest hurdles for people thinking about going green used to be the upfront cost, but that’s changed significantly. Under the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you could be eligible for a £7,500 grant to help cover the cost of your new ASHP installation. That’s a huge chunk of the investment taken care of. We’re here to help you navigate the paperwork and check if your Maghull home qualifies. Imagine future-proofing your property and doing your bit for the environment, all while the government picks up a large part of the bill. Why stick with an aging, inefficient boiler when such a massive incentive is sitting there waiting for you?

A question we often get asked over a brew is: "Will a heat pump actually work when it’s freezing outside?" It’s a fair concern, but the technology is brilliant. These systems are designed to extract warmth even when temperatures drop well below zero. We talk about something called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In simple terms, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you can get 3 or 4kW of heat back out. That’s roughly 300-400% efficiency. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which tops out at around 90-94%, and you can see why so many people in the North West are making the switch. You’ll get a steady, comfortable warmth throughout your home rather than the 'all or nothing' heat spikes of old-fashioned radiators.

At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every home in Maghull is different, from the newer builds to the traditional semi-detached houses. Our process starts with a thorough Heat Loss Survey. This isn't just a quick walk-around; we calculate exactly how much heat your home loses through walls, windows, and floors to ensure your new system is sized perfectly. We also handle the technical bits like the DNO application—notifying the local power grid about your new setup—so you don't have to worry about the red tape. As Gas Safe registered (967977) and F-Gas certified engineers, we pride ourselves on a tidy, professional job that respects your home.

Switching to an ASHP is often the perfect time to look at your hot water setup too. Most heat pumps work best alongside an unvented hot water cylinder. This combination provides fantastic mains-pressure hot water to all your taps and showers at once—no more shouting if someone turns on a tap while you're in the shower! If your current radiators are a bit small, we might suggest upgrading a few to larger, 'low-flow temperature' models. This ensures the heat pump doesn't have to work as hard, keeping your running costs as low as possible. We can even look at a hybrid system if you aren't quite ready to ditch the gas boiler entirely, giving you the best of both worlds.
