Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pump installation designed properly from the start.
COMPASS Home Energy helps North West homeowners move from a realistic quote to a proper heat loss survey, radiator checks and a cleaner installation route.

What a good installation depends on
Low-temperature performance starts with the design stage.
A heat pump should feel calm and unobtrusive day to day. That only happens when heat loss, emitters, controls and hot water are specified together, not guessed from the existing boiler.
- Heat loss survey and room-by-room calculations
- Radiator sizing and emitter upgrades where needed
- Weather compensation and controls setup
- Commissioning, testing and aftercare support
Why Installer Choice Matters
A poorly designed heat pump is still expensive after the grant.
Most disappointing heat pump projects come from rushed surveys, weak sizing and boiler-style thinking. That is why the installer matters more than the logo on the outdoor unit.
Compass route
Room-by-room design before the final recommendation.
- Heat loss calculations before final system size is confirmed
- Radiator, cylinder and controls planning built into the route
- Grant guidance without overpromising final eligibility
- Premium aftercare and a clearer installation roadmap
Who it is for
Homeowners who want realistic pricing, a proper heat pump survey and an installation that is designed around the house rather than guessed from the old boiler.
What the process looks like
Start with an estimate, move into a room-by-room heat loss survey, confirm radiator and hot water strategy, then finalise the installation scope.

Get an EPC-led estimate before you book a survey.
For most homeowners, the safest first step is not a sales call. It is a quick estimate using live EPC data where available, with a local average fallback if no individual EPC exists.
- Likely heat pump size before survey
- Installed price guide with the £7,500 BUS grant shown clearly
- Clear next step if the home looks suitable
- No hard sell and no obligation to book
What happens after the estimate?
You get a sensible starting point. If it looks worth exploring, the design survey confirms heat loss, radiators, hot water, final sizing and the real installation scope.

Indicative guide pricing for a premium system once controls and system components are included.
FAQ
Questions homeowners ask before installation.
The useful questions usually come down to fit, radiator requirements, price after grant and what happens after the estimate.
Many homes across the North West can suit a heat pump well, but the right answer depends on heat loss, radiator performance, hot water demand and controls. That is why the estimate comes first and the survey confirms the final design.
