Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Rochdale, Rochdale

The biggest hurdle for most people is usually the upfront cost, but there's some great news on that front. The Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers a £7,500 grant to help homeowners in Rochdale swap their old fossil fuel boilers for a heat pump. This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it’s a direct voucher that slashes the cost of your installation. We'll even handle the heavy lifting for the application, so you don't have to get bogged down in the paperwork. Why keep patching up an old, inefficient boiler when you could have a brand-new renewable system for a fraction of the price?

A common question we get asked over a brew is, "Will it actually keep me warm when it's freezing in Lancashire?" The answer is a resounding yes. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to extract heat from the air even when it’s well below zero outside. We talk a lot about 'SCOP'—the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. In plain English, that means for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you get about 3 to 4kW of heat back. Compare that to a top-tier gas boiler which is never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why the savings start to add up.

We don’t believe in guesswork. Before we even think about bringing a van to your door in Rochdale, we perform a detailed heat loss survey. We look at everything—your insulation, the size of your windows, and how much heat each room actually needs. This ensures your new ASHP is perfectly sized. If it’s too small, it’ll work too hard; if it’s too big, it’ll be inefficient. 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 so everything runs safely and legally.

Transitioning to a heat pump often involves installing an unvented hot water cylinder. If you're used to a weak shower or waiting ages for the bath to fill, you’re going to love this. These systems provide mains-pressure hot water throughout your home. This means you can have two showers running at once without someone screaming because the water turned cold. It’s a complete upgrade to your daily routine, all while running at a low-flow temperature that keeps your pump working at its absolute best.
