Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Ramsbottom, Bury

Let’s talk about the biggest hurdle first: the cost. Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that the government is currently offering a massive £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). This grant is designed to make renewable energy accessible for everyone, not just new builds. Think of it as a huge head start on your installation costs. The best part? We handle the heavy lifting when it comes to the paperwork. We'll guide you through the eligibility checks and manage the application so you can focus on choosing the right system for your property. When you combine this grant with the long-term savings on your fuel bills, the numbers really start to make sense. Why stick with an aging gas boiler when you can get a brand-new, high-tech system for a fraction of the usual price?

One of the most common questions we get is, "Will it actually work when it's freezing outside?" It’s a fair concern given our local climate! The answer is a resounding yes. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to extract heat from the outside air even when temperatures drop well below zero. They operate on a principle called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In plain English, that means for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce between 3kW and 4kW of heat for your home. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler, which is never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why ASHPs are the clear winner. They run at a lower flow temperature than traditional systems, providing a consistent, gentle warmth that feels much more natural than the 'blast' of an old radiator.

Choosing someone to overhaul your heating system is a big decision. You want to know you're dealing with people who know the area and take pride in their work. Redorr is a local, family-run business based in Warrington, but we’re a regular fixture in Ramsbottom, St Helens, and across Merseyside. We aren't a 'here today, gone tomorrow' national firm; we’re your local Gas Safe registered engineers (967977) with full insurance and a reputation to maintain. From the moment you call us on 01925 597837 for a chat, you'll notice we do things differently. We won't give you a generic quote over the phone. Instead, we'll visit your home to carry out a proper heat loss survey. This ensures your new heat pump is sized perfectly—not too big, not too small—so it runs at peak efficiency for years to come.

We know that technical terms like 'DNO applications' and 'monobloc systems' can sound a bit daunting. That's why we keep things transparent. Once we've completed your survey, we handle the technical side, including informing the local power grid (the DNO) about your new installation. If your project requires extra bits like an unvented hot water cylinder or a bit of underfloor heating to get the best results, we’ll talk you through it in plain English. We’ll even help you understand how your new ASHP can work alongside your existing radiators if a full swap isn't necessary. Our goal is a seamless transition that leaves you with a warmer home and a smaller carbon footprint. Ready to see what's possible?
