Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Shaw, Oldham

Most homeowners we chat to in Shaw are surprised to find out they could get £7,500 towards their new heat pump. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is designed to make the switch from fossil fuels as painless as possible. We handle all the heavy lifting with the paperwork, making sure the grant is applied directly so you don't have to worry about the admin. It’s a straightforward way to slash the upfront cost of a new system while doing your bit for the planet. Imagine upgrading your entire heating setup for a fraction of the usual price—it's a bit of a no-brainer, isn't it?

One thing we get asked all the time is: 'Will it actually work when it’s freezing outside in Shaw?' The answer is a big yes. Modern ASHPs are incredibly clever—they pull heat from the air even when temperatures drop well below zero. We look at the 'Seasonal Coefficient of Performance' (SCOP), which is just a fancy way of saying that for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, you get about 3 or 4kW of heat back. That’s far more efficient than any old boiler you’ll find in an Oldham cellar. You'll get consistent, steady warmth all year round, no matter how much the Pennine winds howl.

We don't just 'guess' what size pump you need. Before we even think about an installation, we carry out a full Heat Loss Survey on your Shaw property. We look at everything from your wall insulation to the size of your radiators. This ensures your new system runs at a low-flow temperature, keeping your home cosy without wasting a penny. We also manage the DNO application—that’s the bit where we let the local power grid know about your new setup—so the whole process is seamless for you. It's all about getting the details right from the start to ensure maximum efficiency.

Imagine having a constant, steady warmth throughout your house rather than the 'on-off' blasts of a traditional boiler. That’s what a well-fitted ASHP offers. We specialise in retrofitting these systems into existing Shaw homes, often pairing them with unvented hot water cylinders to give you that lovely mains-pressure hot water in your shower. Whether you’re currently on gas, oil, or LPG, moving to a heat pump is a massive step toward energy independence. Our local installers are committed to providing high-quality workmanship with minimal disruption to your daily routine, so you can get back to your cuppa in peace.
