The Smart Alternative to Gas Boilers

Air source heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air to warm your home and hot water — delivering up to 3.5 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used. That's why they're the centrepiece of the UK's net zero strategy, backed by the £7,500 BUS grant. As a maintenance-first company, we install heat pumps we're proud to service year after year: correctly sized, properly commissioned, with remote monitoring set up from day one. We've seen enough poorly installed systems to know that a heat pump installed wrong is worse than no heat pump at all. We don't cut corners.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

Up to 70% Lower Heating Bills

Heat pumps deliver 3.5kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity used — up to 3.5x more efficient than a gas boiler, cutting your heating bills dramatically.

£7,500 BUS Grant Available

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump, making the switch more affordable than ever. No upper income limit.

MCS Certified Installation

All our heat pump installations are MCS certified, which is required to claim the BUS grant, qualify for reduced VAT, and validate manufacturer warranties.

Works in UK Winter

Modern ASHPs operate efficiently down to -20°C. They deliver consistent heat throughout the winter, including Manchester's coldest days.

Increases Property EPC

Installing a heat pump typically moves a property from EPC band D or E to C or B — boosting value and future-proofing against MEES regulations.

Perfect with Solar Panels

Pair your heat pump with solar panels and a battery for a fully renewable home energy system. Solar generates free electricity to power your heat pump.
