Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Whitefield can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
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.
Heat pump guide prices in Whitefield
These are guide prices for Greater Manchester, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Heat pumps in Whitefield: questions
What size heat pump does a Whitefield home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Whitefield home.
Can you service a heat pump in Whitefield that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Whitefield, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Radcliffe as well as Whitefield?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Radcliffe, which is about a mile north-west of Whitefield, and across Greater Manchester.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Whitefield 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 Whitefield home.
