Manchester has thousands of Victorian terraces in areas like Chorlton, Didsbury and Withington. Local heating engineers and air source heat pump specialists in Manchester often work on these homes. These properties usually have solid brick walls and may need insulation upgrades before installation.
Radiators may also need upgrading because heat pumps run at lower water temperatures than gas boilers. Many Victorian homes in Manchester have already had insulation work done, which makes installation easier.
Typical cost: £10,000 – £13,000 (before grant)
After £7,500 grant: £2,500 – £5,500
These homes, common in places like Sale, Altrincham and Stockport, are ideal for air source heat pumps. Local heating engineers and installers find these properties straightforward to work with – they often have cavity walls, which are easier to insulate, and decent garden space for the outdoor unit.
Typical cost: £9,000 – £12,000 (before grant)
After £7,500 grant: £1,500 – £4,500
New developments in Manchester city centre, Salford Quays and MediaCityUK are usually well insulated and sometimes already have underfloor heating. These are great for heat pumps, as long as there is space for a hot water cylinder and outdoor unit (often on a balcony).
Typical cost: £9,000 – £12,000 (before grant)
After £7,500 grant: £1,500 – £4,500
Areas like Didsbury and Chorlton include conservation zones and some listed buildings. In these cases, you may need planning permission or listed building consent. The outdoor unit must be placed carefully so it does not harm the look of the building.
Our installers are used to working with local planning departments and can advise what is likely to be approved.
Typical cost: £11,000 – £14,000 (before grant)
After £7,500 grant: £3,500 – £6,500
