FAQs
How can I tell whether my HVAC system needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, and equipment that is 12–15 years old are common signs. In Manchester’s climate, compressors and heat exchangers often begin to fail around this age. A certified technician will perform a load calculation, inspect refrigerant levels, motors, and ductwork. If repair costs exceed 30–40 % of the price of a new system or the unit still uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually the most economical option.
What does a typical HVAC replacement cost in Manchester?
Prices vary by home size, system type, and efficiency rating, but most complete replacements (furnace, air handler, condenser/heat pump, thermostat, and basic duct alterations) range from £4,500–£8,500. High-efficiency heat pumps or hybrid systems can cost £9,000–£12,000. The quote we provide is all-inclusive—equipment, labour by certified technicians, standard electrical upgrades, disposal of the old unit, and registration of manufacturer warranties.
How long will the removal of my old unit and installation of the new system take?
A straightforward like-for-like swap in an average semi-detached home normally takes one full working day (6–8 hours). Conversions—such as switching from a conventional furnace to a heat-pump system, adding zoning, or significant duct modifications—may take 2–3 days. We schedule inspections, delivery, and permits in advance to minimise downtime; you’ll have heating or cooling restored the same day in most cases.
Are your technicians certified, and what qualifications should I look for?
Yes. Every installer is Gas Safe registered for furnaces/boilers, F-Gas certified for refrigerant handling, and holds City & Guilds Level 3 HVAC or equivalent. We also carry full public liability insurance and manufacturer-specific training certifications. Always ask to see Gas Safe IDs and F-Gas cards—legally required for any work involving gas appliances or refrigerants in Manchester and the wider UK.
Will a new HVAC unit really lower my energy bills, and how do I choose the right efficiency rating?
Modern condensing boilers reach 92–97 % AFUE, and inverter heat pumps can deliver SCOP values of 3.5–4.5, cutting energy consumption by 20–40 % compared with equipment installed a decade ago. When sizing, we complete a Manual J/BS EN 12831 calculation to match capacity to your home’s heat loss. We’ll then discuss SEER, HSPF, or ERP ratings and explain payback periods so you can balance upfront cost with long-term savings.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or warranties for HVAC replacements in Manchester?
We partner with major lenders to provide 0 % APR financing for up to 24 months and low-interest plans up to 10 years. Greater Manchester residents may qualify for ECO4 or Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants when switching to heat pumps or high-efficiency boilers. All installations come with a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labour warranty, extendable to 5 years with an annual service contract.
