Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Stretford, Trafford

One of the first things most people ask us is about the cost. It’s a fair point, as renewable tech used to be quite a hefty investment. However, the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) has changed the game completely. You can now get a £7,500 grant to help cover the cost of replacing your fossil fuel boiler with an ASHP. We’ll guide you through the whole process, ensuring you get the funding you’re entitled to. When you factor in that grant, the jump to renewable heating becomes much more affordable. It’s a brilliant way to slash your carbon footprint while making a serious dent in the upfront price. Why pay full whack for a new system when there's a significant chunk of money waiting to be claimed?

How does a heat pump actually save you money? It all comes down to efficiency, or what we call the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). Think of it this way: for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce between 3kW and 4kW of heat for your home. Compare that to even the best gas boilers, which are never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why the maths starts to make sense. Even when it’s chilly outside in Greater Manchester, these systems are designed to pull warmth from the air. By running at a lower-flow temperature, they provide a steady, consistent warmth that keeps your house comfortable without the constant 'on-off' cycling of an old-school central heating system.

We don’t believe in guesswork. Before we even think about picking up a spanner, we carry out a detailed Heat Loss Survey of your property. This involves looking at everything from your insulation levels to the size of your radiators. It’s a vital step because an undersized heat pump will struggle in the winter, and an oversized one will waste energy. We’ll also handle the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of saying we’ll talk to the local power grid folks to make sure your electrical supply is ready for the upgrade. It’s all part of our start-to-finish service. Whether you’re retrofitting an older house in Stretford or planning a project from scratch, we make sure the system is tailored exactly to your needs.
