Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Nantwich, Cheshire East

One of the biggest hurdles we hear about is the upfront cost. But did you know the government is currently offering a £7,500 leg-up? It's called the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), and it’s a total game-changer for homeowners in Nantwich. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it's a direct grant to help you ditch fossil fuels. We handle the heavy lifting for you, including the application process, so you don't have to wade through mountains of paperwork. Imagine getting a top-tier heating system installed for a fraction of the usual price. Most people we talk to are surprised by how affordable the transition becomes once that grant is locked in. Why pay full price for yesterday's technology when you can get tomorrow's system subsidised today?

A common worry we get over a cuppa is: 'Will it actually keep me warm in January?' It’s a fair question. Unlike a gas boiler that creates heat by burning stuff, an ASHP works like a fridge in reverse. It extracts heat from the outside air—yes, even when it's freezing outside—and moves it into your home. We look at something called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In plain English, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you usually get about 3 to 4kW of heat back. That’s roughly 300-400% efficiency. Compare that to an old boiler which might only be 70% efficient, and you can see why the maths starts to look very good indeed. We’ll make sure your system is sized perfectly so you’re never left shivering when the North West weather turns grey.

We don't just rock up and bolt a unit to your wall. To get a heat pump working perfectly, we need to understand exactly how your house holds onto heat. That’s where our detailed Heat Loss Survey comes in. We’ll look at your insulation, your window types, and even the size of your radiators. Since ASHPs run at a 'low-flow temperature'—meaning they provide a steady, gentle heat rather than the scorching bursts of a gas boiler—we might suggest upgrading a couple of radiators to ensure you're getting the most out of the system. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of telling the local power grid that you’re adding a new bit of kit. It’s all part of the service to ensure your transition is as seamless as possible.
