FAQs
What types of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) solutions do you install in Manchester homes?
We design and install a full range of HVAC systems, including high-efficiency gas boilers, air-source heat pumps, hybrid heating, ducted and ductless air-conditioning, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) units, whole-house extract fans and smart zoning controls. Every system is specified to suit Greater Manchester’s mixed housing stock, local climate and your budget.
How can a modern ventilation system improve my indoor air quality?
Continuous mechanical ventilation extracts stale, humid air and supplies filtered, fresh outdoor air. This removes excess moisture that can lead to mould, reduces concentrations of allergens and airborne pollutants such as traffic fumes, and keeps COâ‚‚ levels in check. Heat-recovery models reclaim up to 90 % of the heat from outgoing air, so you enjoy cleaner air without higher heating bills.
Will upgrading my heating and cooling equipment lower my energy bills?
Yes. Replacing a boiler that is 10–15 years old with an A-rated condensing model can cut gas consumption by up to 30 %. Switching from conventional electric heaters to an air-source heat pump can deliver efficiencies of 300 % (3 kWh of heat for every 1 kWh of electricity). Adding smart thermostats and room-by-room zoning typically reduces energy use a further 10–15 %.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
We recommend an annual service for gas boilers and air-conditioning units to maintain manufacturer warranties, ensure safe combustion and maximise efficiency. Filters in MVHR and extract systems should be checked every 3–6 months and replaced at least once a year. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, extends equipment life and keeps air quality high.
Do I need planning permission to install an air-source heat pump or MVHR system in Manchester?
In most residential situations heat pumps and MVHR units fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning no formal planning application is required. However, restrictions apply in conservation areas and for listed buildings, and external units must meet noise limits. We carry out a site survey and, if needed, liaise with Manchester City Council to secure approval.
What warranties and after-sales support do you offer?
All equipment is supplied with up to 10 years’ manufacturer warranty (parts and labour) when we handle the installation and annual servicing. We provide 24/7 emergency call-out within the Greater Manchester area, priority same-day repair for contract customers and free telephone support for system optimisation or troubleshooting.
