FAQs
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Manchester?
Most residential installations are completed in one working day (6–8 hours). This includes safely disconnecting your old cylinder or combi-boiler, upgrading gas and water pipework where required, mounting the new unit, flushing the system, commissioning, and performing a Gas Safe hand-over. Larger properties that need multiple units or a complete re-run of gas lines may stretch to two days.
Will a tankless water heater work with Manchester’s colder mains-water temperatures?
Yes. Modern condensing tankless units are designed to raise incoming water by up to 40–50 °C in a single pass. In winter, Manchester’s mains can drop to about 5 °C; a quality 26–28 kW unit will still deliver 11–13 L/min at 40 °C. For homes with high simultaneous demand (e.g., two showers running), we can specify higher-output models or run two units in parallel.
Do I need planning permission or to notify Building Control?
Planning permission is not normally required, but Building Regulations do apply. As Gas Safe registered engineers we self-certify the installation and notify your local authority through the Gas Safe portal. You will receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate within 10–15 days—no extra paperwork on your part.
What is the average cost of installing a tankless water heater in Greater Manchester?
For a standard 2–3-bed property the complete supply-and-fit package ranges from £1,550 to £2,200 including VAT. The figure covers the appliance, flue kit, scale-reduction filter, gas pipe upgrades up to 3 m, labour, commissioning, and registration. Extras such as longer gas runs, condensate pumps, or relocation of the unit are quoted transparently before work begins.
How often does a tankless water heater need servicing?
Annual service is recommended to keep your manufacturer warranty valid and to maintain efficiency. We descale the heat exchanger, clean the combustion chamber, check gas pressure, inspect the flue, and update the digital log. In Manchester’s moderately hard water areas, a scale-reduction cartridge should also be replaced every 12 months.
Will converting to tankless lower my energy bills?
In most households switching from a conventional cylinder saves 20–40 % on gas used for hot water because the burner only fires when you open a tap—there is no standing-heat loss from stored water. Additionally, condensing models reach up to 94 % efficiency. With typical Manchester gas tariffs, that equates to £80–£140 savings per year for a family of four, meaning the system often pays for itself within 5–7 years.
