Air Source Heat Pumps

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) extract natural heat from the outdoor air and use it to warm your home and hot water. Instead of burning fuel like a traditional gas, LPG or oil boiler, heat pumps transfer existing heat, making them far more efficient and environmentally friendly.

For Manchester homeowners, this means:

Lower heating bills
Less reliance on fossil fuels
More stable, future-proof heating
Comfortable temperatures throughout the year

ASHPs work particularly well in Greater Manchester’s cool climate, as they perform most efficiently at lower outdoor temperatures. They are especially effective for homes upgrading from electric storage heaters, LPG boilers, oil systems or older gas boilers.

Switching to an air source heat pump can also reduce your home’s carbon footprint. With rising demand for eco-friendly properties in Manchester, choosing renewable heating can even improve your home’s long-term value.

Why Manchester Homeowners Choose Air Source Heat Pumps

The upfront cost of a heat pump is higher than a standard boiler, but over time many Manchester households save over £1,300 a year – particularly when switching from electric storage heaters, LPG or oil. Benefits for Manchester homeowners:

Lower Bills – high efficiency means less energy wasted
Reduced CO₂ – a big step towards a low-carbon home
Low Maintenance – simple yearly checks keep everything running smoothly
Long Lifespan – typically 15–20+ years when looked after
Quiet Operation – designed for use in residential streets and gardens
Ready for Solar – works brilliantly with Solar PV to drive costs down further

Changing your heating system can feel like a big decision. The whole process is managed for you – from survey and system design through to installation, commissioning and showing you how to use the controls.

Air Source Heat Pump FAQs for Manchester Homes

How much does a heat pump cost in Manchester?

Costs vary depending on property size, heat loss and system design, but most Manchester installations fall within a similar range to replacing a boiler and upgrading radiators. A £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant can significantly reduce what you pay.

Will a heat pump work in Manchester’s climate?

Yes. Heat pumps are designed to work efficiently in cooler temperatures and perform well throughout Greater Manchester’s long heating season, as long as the system is correctly specified for your home.

Is my home suitable for an air source heat pump?

Most well-insulated properties are suitable. During your survey, heat loss is calculated, radiators are assessed and any recommended upgrades are explained so the system can run efficiently.

How long does installation take?

A typical home installation usually takes between two and five days, depending on the complexity of the system, the number of radiators and whether a new hot water cylinder is required.

Can I keep my existing radiators?

In many homes, existing radiators can be kept, although some may need to be upsized to work optimally with lower-temperature heating. This is all covered in the survey and quotation.
