The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government grant designed to help property owners in England and Wales replace fossil fuel heating with heat pumps. Currently, the grant provides £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump. As long as you own your property and have a valid EPC with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation, you likely qualify. We can help guide you through the application process.

Yes, they do. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to extract heat from the air even when temperatures drop as low as -15°C or -20°C. While they work harder in the winter, they are still far more efficient than electric heaters or old gas boilers. We size your unit specifically for the local climate in Greater Manchester to keep you warm all year round.

G3 certification refers to Part G of the Building Regulations, specifically covering unvented hot water storage systems. These systems are under high pressure, and if they aren't installed correctly with the right safety valves, they can be dangerous. Our G3 qualification means we are legally allowed to install and service these cylinders safely, protecting your family and your property.

Not always. Because heat pumps run at lower temperatures than gas boilers, they sometimes need larger surfaces to give off the same amount of heat. We might suggest upgrading a few key radiators or installing "Low Surface Temperature" (LST) radiators. During our initial survey, we will tell you exactly what is needed so there are no surprises later.
