Air-to-air heat pumps for Cleckheaton homes
The question for a Cleckheaton home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Extensions and garden rooms in Cleckheaton that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. Flats in Cleckheaton on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
What's included
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
Installers in Cleckheaton plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Cleckheaton quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps prices in Cleckheaton
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in West Yorkshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Cleckheaton can need quite different radiators and pipework.

| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £3,900–£7,850 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £2,500 towards an air-to-air system in a home, deducted from your quote where eligible.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Cleckheaton: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Cleckheaton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cleckheaton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Liversedge as well as Cleckheaton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Liversedge, which is about 2 miles south-east of Cleckheaton, and across West Yorkshire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Cleckheaton house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Cleckheaton home.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
