Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Whitefield, Bury

The biggest hurdle for most people is usually the upfront cost, but that is where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) comes in. Currently, the government is offering a £7,500 grant to help homeowners in England and Wales replace their old fossil fuel boilers with an ASHP. This is not a loan you have to pay back; it is a direct contribution to the cost of your installation. We handle the paperwork for you, making the whole process as smooth as possible. Imagine getting a brand-new, high-efficiency heating system for a fraction of the usual price while also future-proofing your home against rising gas costs. It is a bit of a no-brainer if your current boiler is starting to see better days. Give us a ring on 01925 597837 and we can chat about how to get your application started.

A common question we get over a cuppa is: "Will it actually work when it’s freezing outside?" The short answer is yes. These systems are designed to extract heat from the outside air even when the temperature drops well below zero. It all comes down to something called the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP). In simple terms, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce between 3kW and 4kW of heat. That is far more efficient than even the best gas boiler. To make this work properly, we run the system at a 'low-flow temperature'. This means the water in your radiators stays at a steady, lower temperature for longer, providing a consistent, comfortable warmth rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you might be used to. If your current radiators are a bit small, we might suggest upgrading them or look at underfloor heating to make sure you get the most out of the system.

We don't believe in guesswork. Every installation we do in Whitefield starts with a detailed Heat Loss Survey. This involves us looking at your insulation, window types, and room sizes to calculate exactly how much heat your home needs. We also take care of the DNO application, which is just a fancy way of saying we let the local power grid know you are installing a heat pump. As Gas Safe registered engineers (967977), we bring the same level of precision to renewable energy as we do to our boiler repairs and servicing. We follow MCS standards to ensure your system is perfectly sized and optimised for your specific house. We’re not a faceless national firm; we’re local experts who care about doing a proper job for our neighbours across Bury and Greater Manchester.

While we are specialists in ASHP installation, we are here for all your home's needs.
