How we handle air source heat pumps in Salford
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are not knowing whether a grant applies and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
In a place like Salford, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
When to call us in Salford
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units and switch to cooling in warm weather. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Look out for any of the following:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Comparing heat pump types
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
Common questions in Salford
Is Salford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Salford without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Salford. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Central Bedfordshire council, normally the authority for Salford first.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. It won’t apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids do not qualify and other conditions apply.
