FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching this age, needs frequent repairs, struggles to maintain set temperatures, causes energy bills to rise, or still uses R-22 (Freon), replacement is usually more cost-effective than continuing to repair.
What is the typical cost of an HVAC replacement in Manchester and what factors affect the price?
A full system replacement in Manchester generally ranges from £4,000 to £8,500. The final price depends on system size (measured in kW or BTU), ductwork modifications, energy-efficiency rating (SEER/SCOP), brand, smart-thermostat add-ons, and whether you choose extras such as air purifiers or zoning controls.
How long does a complete replacement take and will my home be without heat or cooling?
Most residential replacements take one full working day. Complex installations that require duct or electrical upgrades may run two days. We schedule work to minimise downtime, and portable heaters/fans can be supplied if necessary, so you’re never without comfort for more than a few hours.
Are planning permissions or building regulations involved when replacing an HVAC system in Manchester?
For like-for-like swaps in single-family homes, planning permission is rarely needed. However, Part L of Building Regulations requires the new system to meet current efficiency standards, and any refrigerant handling must comply with F-Gas regulations. As a REFCOM-certified installer, we handle all notifications and provide the required Building Control compliance certificate upon completion.
How much can I save on energy bills with a modern high-efficiency unit?
Today’s A-rated heat pumps and high-efficiency gas furnaces can cut operating costs by 20–40% compared with equipment over 10 years old. Smart thermostats, variable-speed compressors, and improved heat-exchanger designs deliver steadier temperatures while using less electricity or gas, translating to annual savings of £250–£500 for the average Manchester household.
What warranties, maintenance plans, and financing options do you offer?
We provide 10-year manufacturer parts warranties on most leading brands and a 2-year labour warranty. After installation, you can enrol in our ComfortCare maintenance plan, which includes bi-annual tune-ups, priority call-outs, and discounted repairs. Interest-free financing over 12 months or low-APR terms up to 10 years are available, subject to credit approval.
