Air Source Heat Pump FAQs for Manchester Homes

What affects the cost of a heat pump installation?

The price depends on your home’s heating needs and whether radiators, the hot water cylinder or electrical supply need work. We assess these during the home survey and provide a quote for the installation your property needs.

Can an air source heat pump work in an older or terraced Manchester home?

It may be possible. We calculate the heat needed in each room and check insulation, radiators and suitable space for the outdoor unit. The survey will show whether any changes are needed before installation.

How long does installation take?

A typical installation takes two to five days, depending on any radiator, cylinder, pipework or electrical changes. We confirm the expected schedule and likely disruption before work starts.

Can I keep my existing radiators?

Possibly. We check whether each radiator can heat its room with the proposed system. Some can stay; others may need upgrading. We’ll explain any changes in your quotation.

Will I need a new hot water cylinder?

Not necessarily. If you already have a cylinder, we check whether it is suitable for the proposed system. If it needs replacing, we’ll explain that during the survey and include it in the quotation.
