Air source heat pump installers in Manchester
Published and last updated 15 October 2026
Homeowners in Manchester can get £7,500 off an air source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, or £9,000 if the home is off the gas grid and heated by oil or LPG, as long as an MCS-certified installer fits it. We match Manchester homes with up to three MCS-certified installers covering M postcodes so you can compare quotes.
How much is the heat pump grant in Manchester?
The grant in Manchester is the same as anywhere in England: £7,500 for an air-to-water heat pump, £9,000 for eligible off-gas homes until 31 March 2027, and £2,500 for air-to-air.
Most Manchester homes are on mains gas, so the standard £7,500 grant is the usual rate.
Do homes in Manchester suit a heat pump?
Most Manchester houses can take a heat pump, from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Levenshulme, Longsight and Moss Side to the interwar semis of Burnage and Northenden. City-centre flats are harder because of outdoor space and freeholder permission, so an air-to-air system is sometimes a better fit.
Is there extra funding in Manchester?
Low-income Manchester households may get a fully funded heat pump through the Greater Manchester Warm Homes: Local Grant, applied for through the GMCA Retrofit Portal.

Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme available in Manchester?
Yes. Manchester is in England, so eligible homeowners can claim £7,500, or £9,000 for off-gas homes.
Who is my local council for home energy grants?

Usually, yes. Back yards often have room for the outdoor unit, and a heat loss survey shows whether any radiators need upsizing.
