An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Manchester and surrounding areas
Manchester is one of the main commercial centres in Greater Manchester, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
We work across Manchester's postcode districts, including M1, M2, M3, M4, M9 and M11. We also work in nearby Salford, Eccles and Prestwich. We plan installations in Manchester so the noisy work — core drilling, ceiling access, lifting plant — happens when it disturbs your business least.
What we do
- Heat loss and heat gain assessment
- Units selected for low-temperature heating output
- Outdoor units positioned for air flow and defrost drainage
- Controls with schedules and set-back temperatures
- Running-cost guidance against your current heating

The steps for a project in Manchester
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Manchester we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
What to think about in Manchester
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Manchester often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Manchester premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Types of premises we cover in Manchester
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
Questions about air-to-air heat pumps in Manchester
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Manchester?

Do you also cover Salford, Eccles and Prestwich?
Yes. Alongside Manchester, we also cover Salford, Eccles and Prestwich. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Manchester?
All of them, including M1, M2, M3 and M4. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
