Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Radcliffe, Bury

One of the first things people ask us is about the cost. It is a fair question, but here is the good news: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers a massive £7,500 grant to help Radcliffe residents make the switch. That is a significant chunk of money that goes directly towards your ASHP installation, making it much more affordable than you might think. We handle the heavy lifting for you, including the application process, so you do not have to get bogged down in paperwork. Imagine replacing your old oil or LPG system with something that not only slashes your carbon footprint but is backed by a substantial government incentive. It is all about making green technology accessible for real families in Bury. Why pay full price for an upgrade when the funding is sitting there waiting to be used? Give us a call on 01925 597837 and we can chat through how the grant works for your specific home.

You might be wondering how a box outside can possibly keep your house warm during a frosty Bury winter. Think of it like a fridge working in reverse. While a fridge takes heat out of the box, an ASHP takes heat from the air outside and brings it indoors. Even at sub-zero temperatures, there is still heat energy to be found. We talk a lot about 'SCOP'—or Seasonal Coefficient of Performance—which is just a fancy way of saying how efficient the unit is over a whole year. For every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you often get 3 to 4kW of heat back out. That is massive compared to a traditional boiler. Because they run at a 'low-flow temperature', the heat is consistent and steady, rather than the 'on-off' blasts you get from old radiators. It creates a much more comfortable environment, especially if you have underfloor heating or larger, modern radiators designed for the job.

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Before we even pick up a spanner, we perform a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your home in Radcliffe. This tells us exactly how much heat your property loses through walls, windows, and floors, ensuring we size your new system perfectly. If a heat pump is too small, it will work too hard; if it is too big, it is a waste of money. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just us letting the local power grid know you are adding a new high-tech system. From the initial consultation to the final commissioning, our team manages everything. We can even look at installing unvented hot water cylinders to ensure you have powerful, mains-pressure hot water for your morning shower. It is a seamless transition designed to give you peace of mind and a warmer home.
