FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my HVAC unit replacement in Manchester?
Up-front pricing means you’ll know the total, all-inclusive cost of your new heating and air-conditioning system before any work begins. Our comfort advisor inspects your home, calculates the correct system size, and provides a written quotation that lists equipment, labour, materials, permit fees, haul-away charges, and taxes. The price you sign for is the final price—no hidden extras, no surprise add-ons, and no overtime fees even if the install takes longer than expected.
How much should I expect to pay for a full HVAC replacement in Manchester?
Costs vary depending on system size (measured in BTUs or tons), efficiency rating (SEER2/AFUE), and any upgrades such as smart thermostats or indoor-air-quality accessories. In Greater Manchester, a typical gas furnace and 14–16 SEER2 air-conditioner package averages £4,500–£6,500 installed, while high-efficiency heat-pump systems can range from £6,000–£9,500. Your on-site quote will reflect the exact specifications your home requires, and we’ll walk you through every line item so you understand where each pound is spent.
How long does the replacement process take from booking to switch-on?
Most projects follow this timeline: 1. In-home assessment & quote: 60–90 minutes. 2. Permit application (if required by Manchester City Council): 1–3 business days. 3. Equipment ordering & scheduling: 1–5 days (we stock common sizes for faster turnaround). 4. Installation day: 4–8 hours for a straight swap, 1–2 days if duct modifications or electrical upgrades are needed. 5. Commissioning & customer walkthrough: 30–45 minutes. You’ll have a single point of contact who updates you at every stage, and we never leave you without heating or cooling overnight unless previously agreed.
Do I need planning permission or special permits for an HVAC replacement in Manchester?
Most like-for-like replacements fall under ‘permitted development,’ but Building Regulations Part L & F require that new heating and cooling equipment meets current efficiency and ventilation standards. We handle the notification to Manchester City Council’s Building Control, arrange any required inspections, and provide the final compliance certificate you’ll need if you sell your home.
What financing or payment options are available?
We offer 0% interest financing for up to 24 months on approved credit, low-monthly-payment plans up to 10 years, and accept major credit/debit cards and bank transfers. Our up-front price never changes, regardless of which payment method you choose, and there are no early-settlement penalties if you pay the balance off sooner.
What warranties and guarantees come with my new system?
Every standard replacement includes: • Manufacturer parts warranty: 10 years on compressors/heat exchangers and 5 years on all other components (registration completed by us). • Labour warranty: 2 years of free labour on any warrantied part replacement. • 12-month 100% Comfort Guarantee: if the system fails to deliver the temperature range we promised, we’ll fix it or remove it and refund your money. • Lifetime workmanship guarantee: any installation-related defect is corrected at no cost for as long as you own the home.
